Delusional Disorder Treatment

Delusional disorder is a rare mental illness where an individual experiences psychosis, where they cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is imagined. Those with this disorder are able to function in everyday life but close family and friends may dispute things that they believe to be true. Individuals suffering from delusional disorder may struggle with romantic relationships, have increased irritability, struggle with legal problems, have frequent anger towards others, and are susceptible to a substance use disorder. Those diagnosed with delusional disorder often have a hard time admitting their beliefs are wrong.

Although this is a chronic mental health condition patients with a commitment to treatment and long-term care will see that recovery is possible. By learning what effective treatment looks like and understanding the value of a long-term inpatient delusional disorder treatment center, you can help your loved one receive the care they need to work toward lasting recovery.

Treating delusional disorder can be difficult as most individuals suffering with this disorder are functioning normally in everyday life and don’t see a problem with their beliefs or actions. The prognosis for this disorder differs depending on the person’s willingness to recognize the symptoms and agree to treatment. Residential care can be beneficial for your loved one suffering from delusional disorder. A tailored treatment plan will show the best road for recovery for your loved one, normally the plan will include therapy and medication.

Adhering to a customized treatment plan prescribed by a mental health professional will lead to the best outcome for your loved one. While each plan will differ there are standard forms of treatment for delusional disorder.

• Residential Treatment. Learning to manage delusional disorder can be achieved with a dedication to therapy and medications if necessary. Residential care is the best option for providing the tools necessary for treating and managing delusional disorder and creating an individualized treatment plan best suited for the individual and their loved ones.
• Therapies. Individual forms of psychotherapy and behavioral therapy can help patients recognize their false beliefs, set goals, and take positive actions to change their belief patterns and negative behaviors. Family therapy is also important so families can understand how to support their loved ones suffering from delusional disorder.
• Medication. Antipsychotics are commonly prescribed in addition to therapy to treat delusional disorder.

During residential treatment, your loved one will learn how to recognize their false beliefs and manage those beliefs outside of treatment with therapy and medication. A comprehensive treatment plan in a residential treatment center will also include alternative and holistic therapies, group therapy, endless support, and help with nutrition and exercise. The compassionate professional team at BrightQuest will make sure your loved one is on the best path towards a symptom-free life.
