Indian J Psychol Med. 2013 Apr;35(2):214-6. doi: 10.4103/0253-7176.116261.

Abstract

New insights on Delusional Procreation Syndrome (DPS), a sequence of delusions in the cycle of human procreation are emerging in recent times. Till date, most of the data on DPS are reported from the clinical samples. Authors report case series of having delusions related to DPS from a rural community sample of schizophrenia patients. Delusion of having spouse, delusion of delivery, and delusion of being a parent are reported in this case-series. This evidence is a forward step towards the validity of DPS as a syndrome.

Keywords: Case series; community sample; delusional procreation syndrome.
