Paraphrenia is described as a group of psychotic illnesses distinct from paranoia and from schizophrenia.. Paraphrenia as a separate disorder is not included in either the present versions of ICD or DSM and is now likely to be classified as atypical psychosis, schizoaffective disorder or delusional disorder using these diagnostic systems. In patients suffering from this type of psychosis, personality decay is minimal, and emotional rapport is well retained. The onset occurs around age 40.
