Delusional disorder is a type of psychotic disorder. Its main symptom is the presence of one or more delusions. A delusion is an unshakable belief in something that’s untrue. The belief isn’t a part of the person’s culture or subculture, and almost everyone else knows this belief to be false.
People with delusional disorder often continue to socialize and function well, apart from the subject of their delusion. Generally, they don’t behave in an odd or unusual manner. This is unlike people with other psychotic disorders, who might also have delusions as a symptom. In some cases, however, people with delusional disorder might become so preoccupied with their delusions that their lives are disrupted.
There are different types of delusional disorder, which are determined based on the main theme of the delusions the person experiences. The types of delusional disorder include:
People with this type of delusional disorder believe that another person, often someone important or famous, is in love with them.
People with this type of delusional disorder have an overinflated sense of self-worth, power, knowledge or identity.
Believes someone or something is mistreating, spying on or attempting to harm them (or someone close to them).
People with this type of delusional disorder believe that they have a physical issue or medical problem, such as a parasite or a bad odor.
