Othello Syndrome – Brain Disorder Leading To Morbid Jealousy
Question: What is the Othello Syndrome?
Answer: The name Othello makes most of us think about Shakespeare’s famous tragedy play focusing on subjects such as racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge and repentance. There is also a brain disorder called the Othello syndrome, also known Morbid Jealousy.
It’s the delusion of infidelity of a spouse or partner and is characterized by recurrent accusations of infidelity, searches for evidence, repeated interrogation of the partner, tests of their partner’s fidelity, and sometime stalking. The Othello syndrome is also known as delusional jealousy, erotic jealousy syndrome, morbid jealousy, Othello psychosis, or sexual jealousy. The Othello syndrome affects males and, less often, females. The Othello syndrome was named by the English psychiatrist John Todd (1914-1987).
