This word is of Greek origin "eros" which refers to "Love" and "mania" which is "madness" . Erotomania is considered by experts, a mental disorder, in which the individual who suffers from it has the false belief that another person is in love with her. This disorder is also known as clerambault syndrome or love delusion. The person who is the object of the fantasy is generally of a higher social level than the deranged person, and may be an unknown person at the beginning, or an actor, music stars, etc.
The erotomanía from Psicoanalisi s can have three stages: hope, disappointment and bitterness. The erotomaniac is capable of investigating even the smallest of the person who is the object of his desire, and can get to know him and do everything possible to provoke an encounter between the two, however if in this encounter the erotomaniac does not succeed in making the person Confess your love, it is very possible that you go into depression, anger, disappointment. This condition is very common in single, shy women who have never had sexual intercourse, with little social life and who are always fantasizing about their prince charming. The specialists consider that the application of a treatment based on antipsychotics could control and reduce a little the episodes of delirium of the affected person.
The so-called "Fans" of a television or music artist may have a bit of this disorder called erotomania. For example: The scene of a movie where a girl goes to work in a company and falls in love with her boss, and in her mind she thinks that he also corresponds to her, when in reality it is not like that, from that moment the girl begins to harass him, and even talks to the wife of his boss and tells her that he is in love with her and that they have a relationship, the girl in her delirium becomes violent and attentive against the life of the boss's wife. And although this was something fictitious, this film shows a clear example of what a person suffering from this mental disorder can do.
