Hyperreligiosity is a psychiatric disturbance in which a person experiences intense religious beliefs or episodes that interfere with normal functioning. Hyperreligiosity generally includes abnormal beliefs and a focus on religious content or even atheistic content,^[1] which interferes with work and social functioning. Hyperreligiosity may occur in a variety of disorders including epilepsy,^[2]^[3] psychotic disorders and frontotemporal lobar degeneration.^[4] Hyperreligiosity is a symptom of Geschwind syndrome, which is associated with temporal lobe epilepsy.^[5]
