“…Kendler [34] estimated the prevalence of DD to be around 24-30 cases in every 100,000 inhabitants, whereas De Portugal et al [35] found almost twice the prevalence in their community sample (0.006%). The most prevalent type of DD is persecutory, as empirical data have consistently shown [35,36,37,38,39]. Regarding age of onset, most studies agree that DD is predominantly an illness of middle to late adult life, and the mean age of onset ranges from 35 to 55 years [34,35,36,40].…”

Regarding age of onset, most studies agree that DD is predominantly an illness of middle to late adult life, and the mean age of onset ranges from 35 to 55 years [34,35,36,40]. With regard to sex distribution, it has often been found that DD is more prevalent among women, with female to male ratios ranging from 1.29 to 3 [35,37,38,39].…”

“…Some of the risk factors that have been related to DD development include low socioeconomic status, older age, family history of psychiatric disorders (specifically schizophrenia, paranoid personality disorder and/or premorbid tendency to jealousy, suspiciousness and secretiveness), immigration, sensory deficit (in particular deafness) and exposure to stressful life events [35,36]. …”

“…Finally, psychiatric comorbidity rates among people diagnosed with DD have been found to be fairly high, ranging from 64.8% in the study of Grover et al [40] to 46.5% in the study of De Portugal et al [36], with mood disorders being the most frequent comorbid disorders.…”

In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in the field of delusions, and different aspects of delusional disorder (DD) have been investigated. However, DD is still one of the most underresearched psychiatric disorders. In this paper, we review the literature on DD and most of the theoretical approaches proposed to explain the development and maintenance of delusions. DD research is infrequent, and delusions in this disorder have been scarcely investigated. We aim to establish the state of the art of delusions research to date and point to the shortage of neuropsychological studies in patients with DD. We also justify the need for future research into the neuropsychological correlates of DD as measured in patients with this disorder given that most previous research has mainly focused on other psychotic conditions.

“…In the DELIREMP study including a sample of 86 patients with DD, de Portugal and coworkers [16] were the first to describe the presence of comorbid disorders and suicide risk in DD by using a systematic research method. Mini interview [26] for DSM-IV disorders was used for the mentioned assessment.…”

Suicidal Ideation and Suicidal Behaviour in Delusional Disorder: A Clinical Overview

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background. Most of the existing studies suggest that suicide is one of the leading causes of premature death in patients with chronic psychotic disorders. However, very few studies have specifically investigated suicidal behaviour in patients with delusional disorder. Thus, our objective was to review the literature regarding the percentage of lifetime ideation and suicidal behaviour in delusional disorder in order to provide suggestions for clinical practice. Methods. MEDLINE and PsycINFO were searched from January 1980 to September 2012 using the following keywords: delusional disorder, paranoia, suicidal ideation, and suicidal behaviour. Results. A total of 10 studies were identified and included in the review. The percentage of suicidal behaviour in delusional disorder was established between 8 and 21%, which is similar to schizophrenia. Suicidal ideation and suicide attempts were more frequent in patients showing persecutory and somatic delusions in the reviewed studies. Conclusions. To the best of our knowledge this is the first attempt to specifically review the suicide phenomenon in patients with delusional disorder. Interestingly, our results support the notion that percentages of both suicidal ideation and behaviour in delusional disorder are similar to patients with schizophrenia.
