What type of delusions often idealize romantic love and spiritual union?

Erotomanic delusions specifically involve the belief that someone, often of higher social status or celebrity status, is in love with the individual experiencing the delusion. People with this type of delusion may interpret ordinary interactions or neutral events as significant signs of love or spiritual connection, leading them to cultivate an idealized image of a romantic relationship that does not exist. This delusional state emphasizes the romantic love and spiritual union aspects, often disregarding reality in favor of a deeply held belief in mutual affection.

In contrast, paranoid delusions pertain to a person's belief that others are plotting harm against them. Grandiose delusions involve an individual's inflated sense of self-importance or their special relationship with a deity or a significant figure. Somatic delusions focus on the belief that one has a physical illness or abnormality. None of these conditions center on the idealization of love and romantic relationships in the way erotomanic delusions do.
