HOMOEOPATHY FOR MORBID JEALOUSY OR PATHOLOGICAL JEALOUSY

 

Morbid jealousy is a psychological disorder in which a person is preoccupied with the thought that their spouse or sexual partner is being unfaithful without having any real proof, along with socially unacceptable or abnormal behavior related to these thoughts. The most common cited forms of psychopathology in morbid jealousy are delusions and obsessions. It is considered a subtype of delusion disorder.  It is also known as Pathological jealousy or  Othello syndrome  or Delusional jealously.

Jealous is a complex normal emotion. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the word jealous as feeling or showing resentment towards a person a person one thinks of as a rival. This definition indicates that it is the belief in the presence of rivalry that is the key issue, and that whether or not such a rivalry truly exists is less important . Jealously within a sexual relationship has clear advantages in evolutionary terms: behavior that ensure that absolute sole possession of a partner allows the propagation of one’s own genes at the expense of those of a true rival. However when the  belief in rivalry is mistaken, much time and effort may be wasted in attempting to eliminate a false threat.

Morbid jealousy describes a range of irrational thoughts and emotions, together with associated unacceptable or extreme behavior , in which the dominant theme is a preoccupation with a partner’s sexual unfaithfulness based on unfounded evidence. It is noteworthy that individuals may suffer from morbid jealousy even when their partner is being unfaithful , provided that the evidence that they cite for unfaithfulness is correct and the response to such evidence on the part of the accuser is excessive or irrational. Healthy people become jealous only in reponse to firm evidence, are prepared to modify their beliefs and reactions as new information become available , and perceive a signal rival. In contrast morbidly jealous individuals interpret conclusive evidence of infidelity from irrelevant occurrences, refuse to change their beliefs even in the face of ocflicting information, and then tend to accuse the partner of infidelity with many others. 

Men who suffer from morbid jealousy are more likely than women to use violence and also are more likely to harm or kill with their hands rather than a blunt object. Women on the other hand , when using violence , tend to use a blunt object or knife. Men focus on the rivals status and resources when it comes to the threat of jealousy they fear. Women tend to become more jealous of a potential threat on their rivals youth and physical attractiveness. Alcohol and drug abuse can trigger morbid jealousy .
