Delusion is a psychiatric symptom characterized by a persistent and firmly held belief that is contrary to reality and resistant to reasoning or contrary evidence. Delusions are often false beliefs about oneself, others, or the world, such as believing one has special powers or is being persecuted. They are commonly associated with various mental health disorders, including schizophrenia, where they can form part of a broader psychotic experience, and bipolar disorder, especially during manic or depressive episodes. Delusions can also occur in other conditions, such as severe depression or neurocognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease. Causes of delusions are multifaceted and can include imbalances in brain chemistry, genetic predisposition, and severe stress or trauma. Neurological and medical conditions, such as brain injuries, tumors, or infections, can also lead to delusional thinking.
Treatment for delusions generally involves addressing the underlying condition causing the delusions. In psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, antipsychotic medications are commonly prescribed to help manage symptoms and reduce the intensity of delusional beliefs. Psychotherapy, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can be beneficial in helping individuals recognize and challenge their delusional thoughts and develop healthier thinking patterns.
