The de Clérambault syndrome, commonly known as erotomania, is a delusional disorder in which the patient is convinced that another person has fallen in love with him or her. The syndrome is more frequent in female patients, who usually believe that their lover is a man belonging to a higher social and economic class, or is married, unknown, or even imaginary or deceased person. The course of the syndrome is usually chronic, with serious problematic behavioural consequences, including stalking behaviours, such as repetitive calling, unexpected visits or continuous attempts to send gifts or letters. According to the DSM-5, this syndrome is included in the erotomanic type of the delusional disorder, however, it is usually neglected in psychiatric practice and almost forgotten by modern psychiatrists.
克莱朗博综合征，通常被称为色情狂，是一种妄想性障碍，患者坚信另一个人爱上了自己。该综合征在女性患者中更为常见，她们通常认为自己的恋人是社会经济地位较高的男性，或是已婚、身份不明、甚至是虚构或已去世的人。该综合征的病程通常是慢性的，会导致严重的行为问题后果，包括跟踪行为，如反复打电话、意外拜访或不断试图送礼物或信件。根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第五版，该综合征属于妄想性障碍的色情狂类型，然而，它在精神科实践中通常被忽视，现代精神科医生几乎已将其遗忘。
