What would you call this mental disease? Is there a name for it/diagnosis? (read details)?

Question

Characteristics are: this individual makes another person the focal point of all their hatred? (goes beyond scapegoating). The individual displays narcissitic and egocentrical characteristics, that are borderline delusional, and psychotic; (as in a grandiose).
They are consumed with an abnormal and irrational hatred for another individual that goes beyond a mere dislike for that person, (as in 'enemy') escalating into an imagined irrational personal vendetta such that they are so obssesd with another individual they begin to display 'psychoic behaviours' in so far as stalking that person, (on the job, at their home and in general, in various ways) and do whatever they can to cause and bring destruction and evil into that individual's life. Such as, destroying their reputation with as many people as possible by making up lies about them, and literally stalking that individual (enlisting others to find out 'everything' about that person's life, where they are, what theyre doing etc.)

where it becomes such an obsession that that said invidual literally is consumed with hatred, above the normal vindictive attiude, and can not leave the other peson alone but must literally find ways to harm, or cause anxiety or 'problems' in the other individuals life, daily most times.

whereas it becomes more than the normal 'dislike' for someone, and the 'getting even' type of thing but ecalates into a personal obsession .......

i don't know that i need to explain further; but is there a name/diagnoisis for this mental disease, other than its simply psychotic?

jessica: i am not this person. (no way!) and youre right, it isnt good to have such a hateful obsession, thats why i was curious as to whether or not there was a name for this disease; maybe if i understood it, this person would be less frightening...

what? what?: youre right, it is very scary.

budrow54: it goes beyond the normal emotions of the desire for vindication.... the offenses are imagined therefore no vindication is necessary; and literally crosses the line into being obsessive...

HotCocouff & nwjerseygirl: i dont know that this individual is scitzophrenic ..... they display some paranoid traits (as in believeing the other individual to be their personal enemy, surpassing the normal dislike for someone that we all have experienced at some point)
it's more along the lines of an unhealthy obsession, and above the normal 'desire to get even' whereas they are the one obessed with vengenage for no vailid reason;
but they are not under the slighty paranoid belief that people are 'out to get them' entirely (theres a fine line between that being a normal feeling based on truth of experiences and it being an imagined and emotional reaction to troubles.) but more along the lines of being obsessed with wrecking someone else's life........
i'd say thats more a combination of emotional and mental trouble? i am not sure.....

yes, and by the comment "enlisting others to find out 'everything' about that person's life, where they are, what theyre doing etc." i meant in the sense of it goes beyond the normal curiousity of perhaps being interested in someone for whatever reason, and wanting to know a little bit more about them. (though i woudn't do it, the latter i feel is more a normal curiousity whereas what i am speaking of is borderline obsessive and frightening)

yes to clarify: to want to know more about someone and ask people to find out for you isnt all that uncommon.... its normal i suppose (depending upon motive) i was speaking in terms of it being over the line and like, finding out everything you can about someone just to find ways to make them miserable....
its a difficult situation to explain..... and i'm sure my over-explaining isnt helping things at all......

Answer 1

I don't know, maybe "Its time to call the cops" disease? Scary!

Answer 2

Schizophrenia. I had a relative who had it and it is not an easy condition to deal with. A person who has it must be under a doctor's care and needs to be medicated to keep his thoughts, actions and focus under control. Sometimes they are very paranoid and think that others are "out to get them". They generally have a problem with "authority figures" and have irrational behavior. They can get angry very quickly and do not like to be questioned. Psychotic behavior is another symptom. If you are dealing with someone who has these symptoms, take them for an evalulation. I tried everything (shock therapy, Vitamin B shots, antidepressants, psychiatrists, etc.) to get help for my relative but he eventually refused medication and our relationship fell apart. It was a nightmare. If you get the right doctor and the right medication, I suppose it can be managed. That was not my experience, unfortunately. The prognosis depends on the severity of the condition. Good luck to you.

Answer 3

i dont think there is one particular name for this. It sounds like a bunch of mental problems. is someone doing this to you? if so you need to get help. This person is obviously unstable and maybe even dangerous. And if you are this person, then you need to get yourself help. Its not healthy to have such an hateful obsession.

Answer 4

This person is quite normal, no need to fret unless the thoughts become actions and another person is harmed.

We all feel the need for vindication.

Answer 5

It sounds to me like paranoid schizophrenia, possibly co-morbid with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Answer 6

Envy

Answer 7

Could be borderline personality disorder - it is one of the personality disorders that includes paranoia as a symptom.

Answer 8

Yes, it is called a paranoid schizophrenic, and this person needs to have medical attention and supervision immediately, they are a threat to themselves and the community, very dangerous.
