Hi,

The treatment of delusional disorder depends on its context and severity. If it is depressive or somatic delusion then treatment is for a shorter period and if it's any other cause like paranoia or infidelity, then treatment may take longer.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
