Renfield’s Syndrome also known as Clinical Vampirism was named after the character Renfield in Bram Stoker's Dracula, and is a psychiatric disorder in which the sufferer feels a compulsion to consume blood. People who suffer from this condition are primarily male and often have the delusion of actually being a vampire and feeling the need for blood to obtain supernatural powers and sexual arousal. According to current psychiatric terminology, Renfield's Syndrome is classified as schisophrenia or paraphilia.
