Relational psychosis - (an outdated term; synonym - "progressive psychosis" of relationship) is a form of the depressive phase of manic-depressive psychosis, which is characterized by avoidance of objects that cause strong emotional reactions. The term was first proposed by Hirschfeld in the 20s of the 20th century.

The term “relationship psychosis” means a combination of two conditions: paranoia and object hallucinosis.
With this condition, the **following symptoms are noted:**
* The patient believes that his loved one suffers from a mental disorder or has fallen out of love with him. In the first case, the patient develops a delusional mood, and in the second, depression. Often a psychopath is sure that his lover is unfaithful and imagines various scenarios of betrayal. Due to this, he agrees with the sick fantasy and wants to disabuse her of this conjecture. Thus, the patient begins to look for a partner in his other half and commits actions.
Symptoms of progressive psychosis occur when a couple does not receive the support and care they need. Lack of understanding from other people makes their condition worse. This is often observed by family members of patients who try to prevent the disease by being overly concerned about the person's condition. Typically, such relationships are formed over years and become a cause of discomfort and psycho-emotional stress.

The procedure can be used to check for tumors and chronic encephalitis. 3. Ultrasound examination of the vessels of the neck shows thrombosis, anomalies of internal circulation, arterial and venous changes. 4. Electroencephalography allows you to study bioelectric rhythms and evaluate the functionality of the brain using indicators that are not noticeable to outsiders.

People believe that only those who experience painful breakups or face emotional trauma after divorce suffer from relationship psychosis. It is a mistake to assume that if a person experiences one episode of relationship psychosis, then this is a chronic disease that cannot be treated. But real psychosis is not associated with one cause, but with a combination of factors, such as: unhealthy interpersonal relationships, impaired communication, negative attitudes, impaired self-esteem.
While psychosis is always a bad thing, there is some good news. Psychoses are not born on their own; there are always provocateurs who can infect other people in their interactions with this illness.
