Abstract

Shared maniac syndrome or mania is a very rare entity, and literatures available on this topic are also very sparse. This entity is quite different from the other more common disorder known as “shared psychosis” or “folie à deux” or “induced delusional disorder.” We report about a rare case of a 30-year-old female, exclusively sharing manic symptoms (without any delusion or hallucination) with her father. Due to lack of diagnostic and therapeutic literature on this topic, we also discuss the challenges we encountered in the management of this disorder.
