Abstract: Introduction: Stalking is at the forefront of public, legal, and law enforcement attention, with huge implications for society and it can occur in the contexts of Delusion of Love and Delusion of pregnancy. Materials and Methods: The study locations were the Federal Medical Center, Yenagoa, and the Military Hospital, Port Harcourt. The study via a convenient sampling method, included 57 patients with the diagnosis of Delusional Disorders of Love and Pregnancy over a 2-year old period (between January 2021 to December 2022), with associated stalking behaviors, using a cross-sectional descriptive study design. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 software. Results: Stalking was commoner among the 26-35 year age group with a frequency of 29 (50.9%) and among the female gender (94.7%). Delusion of Love was present alone in 32 (56.1%) of stalkers reviewed, Delusion of Pregnancy was present alone in 5 (8.8%) and Delusion of Love is co-existed with Delusion of Pregnancy in 20 (35.1%). Past psychiatric history was the most prevalent stalking Typology noted and Schizophrenia was the most prevalent past psychiatric disorder found. Legal aspects of stalking among participants were statistically significant (X2 =23.45, df=4, p=0.00). The results showed that there was no history of violence in 13.8% of participants with the involvement of the Police in 24.8%, of the cases and there was Judicial intervention in 5.3% of participants. Conclusions: Stalking is a complex phenomenon that complicates Delusions of Love and Pregnancy. There is, therefore, the need for increased awareness of the etiological, legal, psychiatric, and emerging issues associated with them, as espoused in this study.
