Medical history

🔲 Othello syndrome

This is a horrible mental disease. The person affected by this disease strongly believes that his partner or husband (wife) is not faithful to him. She is secretly keeping a secret relationship with another person. Maintaining physical relations. These diseases are generally more common in men, but women are proportionately lower.

Although there is no evidence of doubt in this type of disease, the patient feels strongly that he is right. If the patient persists in a false belief. Although his parents, relatives and neighbors are asked to know if the patient's suspicions are correct, they say that there is no basis for the doubt. Yet they can not come out of this suspicion. Even after assuring the people affected by this syndrome, they do not disbelieve.

Husbands begin to monitor women. Sometimes a third person is behind the wife. Even the wife uses personal things, mobile, hand bags, costumes, bed covers, and everything in search. Maybe the patient has not found anything, but there is unbelief in him. This syndrome affects the patient's wife with mental or physical abuse. Sometimes there are murders and threats. In order to identify such patients, there must be a confirmation from the third party about the symptoms of the disease. In some cases unfortunately the doubt becomes reality. But then we can not tell him Othello syndrome.

But the reasons for which the husband started to suspect his wife are:

▣ Othello syndrome

▣ Use of liquor products (especially cannabis, alcohol etc.)

▣ schizophrenia

▣ Bipolar Mood Syndrome

▣ Personality Disorder

▣ Physical disability (which may be due to stroke)

If a person with a mental illness is often a victim of sexual impairment, then he becomes a victim. The patient unwittingly blames the wife for this weakness.

The origin of the name 'Othello'

Shakespeare's immortal creation is called 'Othello', where a central character of his sexually assassins murders his beautiful wife in the end.
