Abstract

Background: Shared Psychotic Disorder or Folie À Deux is rarely in studies, where individuals share their delusions with others. The close relationships most often found in this disorder include husband and wife, brothers and sisters, mother and children, and others. In this case, elements of mutual trust play an important role.

Case Report: A case of shared psychotic disorder was found between a 45- year-old mother and her 18-year-old daughter sharing the same delusions and hallucinations through performing rituals. The closeness of mother and children is very influential in this case.

Conclusion: Shared Psychotic Disorder is a rare problem known by few people. It is concluded that closeness and trust greatly influence the occurrence of shared delusions between individuals.
