What does being delusional mean, and how is it treated in mental health care? - #16909
I’ve been reading a lot about mental health lately, and I came across the term “delusional.” I understand that it refers to having beliefs that are not based in reality, but what exactly does being delusional mean, and how does it differ from other mental health conditions, like paranoia or schizophrenia? From what I gather, delusional thinking can involve things like believing that you’re being persecuted or having grandiose beliefs about one’s abilities. How do mental health professionals diagnose delusional thinking, and what criteria are used to determine if someone is truly delusional or just experiencing stress or anxiety-related thoughts? I’m also curious about how delusional thinking is treated. Are there specific therapies or medications that help manage or reduce delusions? How do therapists work with patients to address the underlying causes of delusions, and what is the role of family support in treating these symptoms? If anyone has experience with delusional thinking, either personally or with a loved one, I’d love to hear your insights. What treatments were helpful, and how long did it take to see improvement?
