With regard to delusional disorder-somatic subtype there may be a relationship with body dysmorphic disorder. There are reports that some delusional disorders can evolve to become schizophrenia. Similarly, the treatment of such disorders with antipsychotics has been documented. This report describes a case of delusional disorder - somatic type - preceding a psychotic episode and its successful treatment with an antipsychotic drug, thus contributing to what has been documented on the subject.
关于妄想性障碍的躯体亚型,它可能与躯体变形障碍存在关联。有报告称,一些妄想性障碍可能会演变成精神分裂症。同样,使用抗精神病药物治疗此类障碍也有相关记载。本报告描述了一例在精神病发作之前出现的妄想性障碍的躯体类型病例,以及使用抗精神病药物对其进行成功治疗的情况,从而为该主题的已有文献做出了贡献。
