Folie à deux

[ichingcarpenter]

Folie à deux, or shared psychosis,[2] is a psychiatric syndrome in which symptoms of a delusional belief and sometimes hallucinations[3][4] are transmitted from one individual to another.[5] The same syndrome shared by more than two people may be called folie à trois, folie à quatre, folie en famille ("family madness"), or even folie à plusieurs ("madness of several").

Recent psychiatric classifications refer to the syndrome as shared psychotic disorder (DSM-IV – 297.3) and induced delusional disorder (F24) in the ICD-10, although the research literature largely uses the original name. This disorder is not in the current DSM (DSM-5). The disorder was first conceptualized in 19th-century French psychiatry by Charles Lasègue and Jean-Pierre Falret and is also known as Lasègue-Falret syndrome.[3][6] The term is from French for "madness of two".

[Deux Corbeaux]

If the concept “Folie á Deux” can be extended and applied to any number of individuals, then there are many “folies” going on nowadays.


By the way, Deux Corbeaux have their own “Folie á deux”. They both think they can fly together.
