, previously called paranoid disorder, is a type of serious mental illness called a psychotic disorder. People who have it can't tell what's real from what is imagined. Delusions are the main symptom of delusional disorder. They're unshakable beliefs in something that isn't true or based on reality.

What should you do if a person is delusional?

Ways to cope with someone who has delusions
  1. Pay attention to the emotions of the person.
  2. Discuss the way you see the delusion.
  3. Express that you are concerned about the person.
  4. Offer to pursue therapy together but be strategic.
  5. Ask the person why they believe as they do and be open-minded.

What does calling someone delusional mean?

A delusional person believes things that couldn't possibly be true. If you're convinced that the microwave is attempting to control your thoughts, you are, sadly, delusional. Delusional comes from a Latin word meaning "deceiving." So delusional thinking is kind of like deceiving yourself by believing outrageous things.
