Stalking, sometimes referred to as erotomania, is often portrayed in extreme forms, yet it is influenced by the intense, obsessive feelings that can develop from infatuation.
Erotomania is classified in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual V as a subtype of delusional disorder, where one believes another is in love with them, despite evidence to the contrary.
There is a fine line between ordinary infatuation and obsessive stalking, with the latter leading individuals to track movements, study social media, and engage in compulsive behavior.
The early attachment experiences of individuals who engage in stalking can significantly influence their behavior, as can the reactions and experiences of their victims.
