Amal has been experiencing growing suspicions that her partner, Lisa, is cheating on her. She has no evidence of the infidelity, but her belief in this issue is growing stronger and stronger by the day. Amal may be experiencing the jealous type of delusional disorder.

Explanation:

Delusional disorders are considered to be a mental disorder in which a person believes to uphold altered reality or a disbelief. The disbelief is held despite the lack of evidence because the person feels that what he or she is thinking is correct but in reality it is not so.

A jealous delusional disorder often leads to a partner believing in the infidelity of the other partner. These delusions make Amal believe in something that may not be true but the belief of Amal in this delusion is unshakable and therefore impacts mental health.
