## Synopsis

Rachel Partson (Josie Davis) loves her boss David Wescott (Chris Potter) just a little too much. She's been his executive assistant for three years, and now she's ready to be something else, his wife. The only trouble is, David's a recent widower, and not interested. Rachel's not going to let that stop her. She won't let anything, or anybody stand in the way of her "perfect" relationship. Can David realize the depth of Rachel's obsession, in time to save himself, and his daughter Isabelle (Veronique-Natale Szalankiewicz)?

## Erotomania

In, *The Perfect Assistant,* "Rachel Partson" suffers from *erotomania*. This is a common plot device in Lifetime movies.

**EROTOMANIA\*** is a form of *Delusional Disorder*, where the sufferer believes they have a romantic relationship with another person, but they do not. Often, (but not always) the target of the erotomaniac is a famous person, a person of great accomplishments, or someone the erotomaniac believes is of higher standing than themselves. Erotomania is often a comorbidity to another underlying condition. These other conditions can be physical or mental. Common mental conditions associated with erotomania are *Schizophrenia* and *Bipolar Disorder*. Common physical conditions associated with erotomania are *Acute Ischemic Stroke*, and *Traumatic Brain Injury* or *TBI*. The treatment will depend on the associated condition, but treatment is *always necessary*. This condition does not usually resolve itself on it's own, and can last for years.

* Also known as De Clérambault’s Syndrome
