Men Obsessed With Men Is A Severe Mental Disorder

As salaamu alaikum,

In light of a recent post I’ve come across of an individual who frequently displays an affinity to men that are idolized by him, it made me think of the deep psychological disorder that this person is experiencing, and as I came across the article below, it is deeper than I imagined, and perhaps deeper than the one affected by it even realizes. Here is an excerpt from the article below:

“Erotomania, or de Clérambault’s syndrome, is a psychiatric condition in which a person has a delusional belief that another person loves them, usually someone of a higher status.

There are primary and secondary formsTrusted Source of erotomania. In primary erotomania, no other health condition causes erotomania, and erotic delusion is the only symptom.

Secondary erotomania may link to other psychiatric conditions, such as schizophreniaor major depressive disorder….One 2017 case study suggested that social media may worsen erotomania. This is because it allows people with obsessive tendencies to observe others from a distance and to feel closer to them than they might otherwise feel.”

Perhaps the individual in question will be able to seek some help for his “erotic delusion”, as it is an abhorrent sickness, and prayers go out for him.
