Folie à deux

Folie à deux, also known as shared psychosis, is a rare mental health condition where two people share the same false beliefs or delusions. Usually, it involves a dominant individual with a mental disorder and a close other who adopts these beliefs. Both experience the delusions together, reinforcing each other's false perceptions. Treatment typically involves separating the individuals and providing psychiatric support to address the underlying issues. It's important to understand that this condition is psychological, not a deliberate intention to deceive, and medical intervention can help restore individual mental health.
