Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The case of Tricia Miller is an example of delusional disorder, as she was experiencing a fixed false belief that Roberto Alomar was in love with her and that she was being wronged by him. This belief caused her significant distress, and she even threatened to kill him when he did not respond to her attempts to reach him. This case does not fit the criteria for paranoid schizophrenia, as there was no evidence of hallucinations or disordered thinking outside of her delusion about Alomar. While obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve unwanted and intrusive thoughts or impulses, it typically does not involve a delusional belief. Schizoaffective disorder may involve symptoms of both schizophrenia and mood disorders, which were not present in this case.
