Editing Erotomania (section)

==Treatment==
Prognosis differs from person to person, and the ideal treatment is not completely understood. Treatment for this disorder gains the best results when tailored specifically for each individual. To date, the mainline pharmacological treatments have been [[pimozide]] (a typical antipsychotic which was also approved for treating Tourette's syndrome),<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> and atypical antipsychotics like [[risperidone]] and [[clozapine]].<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> Non-pharmacologic treatments that have shown some degree of efficacy are electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), supportive psychotherapy, family and environment therapy,<ref name=":1" /> rehousing, risk management and treating underlying disorders in cases of secondary erotomania.<ref name=":2" /> ECT may provide temporary remission of delusional beliefs; antipsychotics help attenuate delusions and reduce agitation or associated dangerous behaviors, and SSRIs may be used to treat secondary depression.<ref name=":1" /> In delusional disorder there is some evidence that pimozide has superior efficacy compared with other antipsychotics. Psychosocial psychiatric interventions can enhance the quality of life through allowing some social functioning, and treating comorbid disorders is a priority for secondary erotomania.<ref name=":2" /> Family therapy, adjustment of socio-environmental factors, and replacing delusions with something positive may be beneficial to all. In most cases, harsh confrontation should be avoided.<ref name=":1" /> Structured risk assessment helps to manage risky behaviors in those individuals more likely to engage in actions that include violence, stalking, and crime.<ref name=":2" /> For particularly troublesome cases, neuroleptics and enforced separation may be moderately effective.<ref name=":0" />
