Comparative Analysis of Guardianship Recommendations in Schizophrenia and Delusional Disorder: Insights from Psychiatric and Legal Perspectives

Öz

Objective: This study aimed to examine and compare the psychiatric and legal characteristics, as well as Rorschach findings, among individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, delusional disorder and recommended a legal guardian, and those deemed not to require a legal guardian. Method: Data were gathered retrospectively from the records of individuals who were referred to our institution by the courts for legal guardianship or consultant assessments. Results: There were 61 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia recommended for a legal guardian or consultant (SGR), 40 patients diagnosed with delusional disorder recommended for a legal guardian (DDGR), and 66 individuals not requiring a legal representative (NLR). Psychiatric symptom dissimulation was observed in 20% of the DDGR group and 34.4% of the SGR group. Analysis indicated significantly higher levels of psychiatric symptoms such as dispersion in associations, loss of daily functioning, and impoverishment of thought content during psychiatric examinations, as well as features like ego weakness, psychotic personality organization, and perseveration in Rorschach findings among the SGR group compared to the other groups. Active delusions were present in the DDGR group, often leading to multiple lawsuits. Conclusion: Schizophrenia presents a spectrum of psychopathology necessitating guardianship due to difficulties in daily living, persistence of psychotic symptoms, workplace issues, filing multiple lawsuits, undue influence, and impulsivity. Conversely, delusional disorder manifests through ongoing delusions affecting judgment and leading to problems like jealousy delusions-induced divorces and persecution delusions or delusional belief in illegal organizations resulting in multiple lawsuits.
