Jealousy paranoia is also called a delusional disorder because the person who suffers from this condition has a delusion that his/her loved one is constantly unfaithful. They often confront their partners with their unfounded suspicions. They are so sure that they are right in assuming that the partner has been cheating that physical abuse is often involved. Jealousy paranoia destroys marriages, families and friendships because these are the relationships that are the subject of the delusion.

Domestic violence is very often the result of insane jealousy. This abnormal jealousy, which tears families apart, is very common in society and many times people do not seek help because they do not believe there is anything wrong with them. The partner is often too embarrassed to admit that a problem exits and so the jealousy paranoia is allowed to continue. When people can admit that they have a problem, then they realize that there is lots of help available for them.

There are checklists available to determine if you are suffering from a delusional jealousy as well as to determine if you are a victim of the jealousy. Help can be obtained by having your doctor refer you to a trained therapist to counsel both partners through the healing process. Hypnosis is an excellent source of help in situations of jealousy as it teaches the patient how to recognize that a jealous urge is coming on and how to cope with it. It teaches methods for relaxation and results in making life better for all concerned by relieving the jealousy paranoia.
