WHAT IS OTHELLO SYNDROME, WHAT ARE ITS SYMPTOMS? WHAT IS CURIOUS ABOUT OTHELLO SYNDROME
Othello syndrome is one of the psychological disorders. It can also significantly affect a person’s daily life. So what is Othello syndrome, what are its symptoms? What is curious about Othello syndrome.
Othello Syndrome, which causes obsessive thoughts in a person, is named after the play Othello, written by the famous English playwright William Shakespeare in 1604. In this famous work, which is based on jealousy, Othello kills both himself and his wife on suspicion of being deceived. Over time, the work of Othello has taken its place in psychology as Othello Syndrome. Turkey Medicals member and hospital center Neurologist gave important information about Othello Syndrome, also known as pathological jealousy.
What is Othello syndrome?
The feeling of jealousy is an extremely natural feeling that every person encounters in their life, such as rejoicing, suffering, being angry. According to studies, jealousy is considered a symbol of deep and true love, a criterion of love, according to some, while the exhaustion of this feeling is an indicator of a decrease in love or love.
If jealousy has reached a size that will harm a person’s self and his environment, at this point, pathological jealousy can be referred to as Othello syndrome. The most important feature that distinguishes Othello syndrome from other jealousies is that in normal jealousy there is a fear of losing something that is in your hands, while in Othello syndrome the thought prevails whether I have it or not. No matter how one looks at it, it is not a healthy mindset and thought structure.
What are the symptoms of Othello syndrome?
– Create scenarios without reality and do not believe in them,
– Obsessively jealous of the person he is with,
– Constantly thinking that you will be abandoned,
– The fact that his partner constantly thinks that he is cheating on her,
– Don’t make her break up with her partner a phobia,
– Don’t give big reactions even to very small discussions,
– Hircinlasma,
– Propensity to violence.
Why does Othello syndrome occur?
Research on this topic argues that this condition occurs due to the fact that the right frontal lobe of the brain does not work properly. Activities such as self-monitoring, controlling emotions and behavior cannot analyze the behavior of the left hemisphere, and obsessive situations arise in a person. Another reason for the appearance of pathological jealousy is insecurity and fear, which affects the sincerity of the person opposite him.
How is Othello syndrome treated?
Treatment of pathological jealousy is possible. But it is a long and laborious process. Therefore, the patient must be willing to recover. The cause of the disease is hidden in the person himself, it is impossible to solve it alone. The feelings and thoughts that underlie the feeling of jealousy are investigated by a specialist. If a person has convinced himself that he is not loved at all, he is told that he is a person worth loving. The patient’s condition is evaluated not only by himself, but also by his family and social circle. Divorce and suicide are among the most painful consequences of pathological jealousy. Because it is an increasingly difficult condition to control, the patient must definitely seek help from a specialist to recover.
