Erotomania is a rare subtype of delusional disorder, whereby the affected person believes that another individual, usually someone with higher socio-economic status, is in love with them despite having little or no contact. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published case of same gender erotomania, involving a 28-year-old single lady and a 42-year-old divorcee towards a female psychiatrist. We aimed to share the challenges experienced by the managing psychiatrist as she inopportunely became the theme of her patients’ delusion. We also reviewed and discussed recent literature on erotomania to create awareness among psychiatrists towards this rare psychiatric condition.

ABSTRACT Delusional parasitosis (DP), also known as Ekbom syndrome, is a rare, monosymptomatic psychosis where the person has an unshakable belief (i.e., delusion) of being infested with parasites. A detailed activity of the offending parasite like crawling, biting, burrowing is often given by the patients. It is commonly observed among patients over the age of 50. International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 10th revision defines this disorder as “delusional disorder.” We are presenting a case report of a patient suffering from DP, who was successfully treated on atypical antipsychotic olanzapine, together with psychoeducation and counseling.
