Paraphrenia is a mental disorder that includes systematic delusions and hallucinations, but without other signs of mental illness. In this case, the disease is characterized by loss of contact with others and the environment. Moreover, one of the most notable features of paraphrenia is that it predominantly develops in deaf and elderly people.

Although paraphrenia is a disease in its own right, it should be noted that some researchers argue that paraphrenia can be mistaken for other diseases such as schizophrenia and somatic disorder. This is because the clinical manifestations of paraphrenia may be similar to those of other diseases, resulting in the patient being misdiagnosed. In addition, diagnosing paraphrenia can also be difficult due to its rarity and characteristics of the disease.
