Influence of Genetic and Environment Factors on Persecutory Delusions: a Comprehensive Investigation

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate the environmental and psychological factors influencing the manifestation of persecutory delusions, particularly within the context of personality disorders. Subjects and Methods: A clinical-psychopathic method was employed, supported by psychometric, psychodiagnostic, and clinical-statistical tools. Data were collected through a comprehensive empirical study that assessed the patient’s cognitive abilities, intelligence, and personality traits. Results: The study identified key factors influencing persecutory delusions, including a high level of suicidal risk, limited social interaction in personal and professional spheres, and increased depressive symptoms. Behavioral strategies employed by patients to interact with others were also examined. These factors contribute to the distorted perception of the environment and the development of the disorder. Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of addressing both mental and behavioral disorders in treating persecutory delusions. The study suggests that effective intervention can improve the quality of life for patients and contribute to the successful correction of mental pathologies in psychotherapy and rehabilitation.
