The untold suffering stalking has on a victims life is incalculable . Stalking intrudes on the victim's privacy and evokes a fear of violence. It has a detrimental effect on the victim's psychological state , and entire social well-being . Victims of stalking often severely restrict their lives by changing their routine , curtail all social activities , give up their place of employment ,they can become too scared to leave their home or even fear being at home. They fear for their life and become virtual recluses. Their home, which should be their sanctuary can become their prison
Stalking is not a mental disorder. It is a behaviour. Stalking behaviour occurs as a direct result of psychotic symptoms, usually in the form of paranoia or delusional beliefs. However, not all stalkers suffer from delusions .There's different motives for stalking ,and stalkers suffer from a wide variety of mental disorders, with psychosis often playing a role for stalkers. Diagnoses ranges from personality disorders,psychotic disorders - including schizophrenia, depression and substance misuse,and often a high degree of narcissism - these are all common amongst stalkers.A primary disorder is accompanied by specific personality traits that are linked to the stalking behaviour.
Celebrity stalkers often suffer from Erotomania - a delusional disorder . The stalker becomes fixated on someone , and they develop the delusion that the person loves them.They envision a life together and feel a persistent need and urge to see or contact them. They start to display signs of obsessional behaviour after seeing a celebrity in the media. S/he then engages in a pattern of behaviour in an attempt to make the celebrity aware of his/her existence.The stalker believes that if her/his presence is known to the celebrity , they can have a relationship or even marry them . They believe if they pursue the celebrity long enough and consistently enough it'll make them realize the two of them belong together. This is fed by a delusional system of ideas- delusional thinking. Stalkers who are deranged,and delusional are determined and highly dangerous, and a few have succeeded with their lethal intent - 94% of persistent predator stalking behaviour leads to murder
