Thank you for this video sir. I am diagnosed with persecutorial delusional disorder. I was kicked out of the military and this has made me ineligible for a lot of jobs. I never had an outburst with anyone at work and I never messed anything major up. It's unfortunate the stigma that comes with this since some of us are functioning. I don't want to apply for disability through the VA but it has made my life so hard
My brother started suffering from delusional disorder a few years ago and we were told that it is difficult to treat but sometimes a person will work themselves out of the delusional, like only they hold the key to unlock themselves. As of mow my brother has talked about his delusions in about three year and his demeanor seems to be back to normal. I don’t bring up the past and never ask him what he was thinking a couple years ago. I thank god that he appears to be over it or at least in control of his thoughts
Before When I was a bit young , i look at people and think there powerful and if i did something its cringe or embarassing and thats how things started developing me with some paranoia anytime i showered ill force myself to bath properly or if i was doing anything by myself it feel like im watched by classmates from a big board in the performing room. I told my mom about this and she told me its not possible and encouraged me not to think that way. And ever since i havent thought that way but i still have some thoughts in my head that haunts me.
My 35 year old wife is presenting with Persecutory and Erotomanic delusions. It’s been about 4 months since she started to go down this path. Her entire family has tried to get her to seek help and she refuses to believe anything is wrong with her
@@jlm6501I know this feeling.. my dad has the same persecutory and erotomanic delusion for me and my mom and way too many people.. it has made our life so hard.. it's so hard to calm him during is outburst.. we are always in the fear that he can resort to violence.The fact he refuse to accept his condition makes this worse. Hope everything becomes fine again.
I'm living a nightmare that I cant wake up from, as if my previous problems wernt hard enough as is. But, I do not believe that what I'm experiencing is a delusion. Even more, I have had a spiritual awakening over this. Havent told my therapist about that, lol. Oh well, I guess... I will just continue like this... until I get an explanation for it all from the people that owe me one for making me live in extreme distress.
Very informative video. I also wanted to know if the maintainance will be for lifetime. after taking respiridone for almost a year my doctor stopped prescribing any antipsychotics and mood stabilizer because I didnt experience any delusions anymore. Its been almost three months and I think Im doing better. no delusions so far. I wanted to know if there are some studies that it will go away. My doctor said there are some cases that it goes away and some needs lifetime maintainance. I havent found a good read online about this. however I found one guy in the Delusional disorder group on facebook he claims his dad had 2 episodes 30 years ago. and he already stopped taking meds for 20+ years and no delusions so far. I wanted to know if this is really possible because im preparing myself for the side effects of taking drugs for the rest of my life. Im sorry if my English is bad. Im not a native speaker.
I had really heavy delusions for nine months. By a miracle I did get better. They still kept me on medicine. My cat knocked my medicine into an unreachable place, and my husband was at work and wasn't able to get more medication or else he would've lost his job. I don't have a driver's license. I ended up not taking medicine from that point on. It's been about five months for me and I'm absolutely nothing like how I was. We do want to have me go back to my previous doctor to see if there is anything else wrong with me, etc. But it looks like I'm doing well. I had complications, like a hormonal birth control, trauma, severe insomnia and marijuana that all exacerbated the issue and could've been potential "triggers".
I'm so delusional that there is one guy in my college and i just keep imagining that his eyes are only on me. Even though i know I'm delusional I still feel that he is into me.
My mom is 83 and has the beginning stages of dementia, and now she's been diagnosed with delusional disorder also. Let's just say it makes interesting conversations with her.
The delusions are grandiose she thinks she is related to kid rock and her best friends are Melania Trump and dolls parton and she going to go horse back riding g with them when she moves into the house that kid rock bought g or her in Nashville. And in mean time she got ai device in her ear that the neighbors I stalled so they can talk to her all day. We don't have any neighbors the house next door is vacant sooo
My mother has delusional jealousy. I am learning this is possibly caused by Root Canal infections. There are 3 bacterias that are found in extracted root canals and she has all 3 according to the Organic Acid Test “OAT” I ordered on her. She has an appt with a holistic dentist in June to get a 3D cone CT scan to look for mouth infections. I will update when we know more. You can learn about this on youtube. There is a documentary called Root Cause that explains the dangers of root canals.
I have a delusion that I'm in the afterlife with my family and when I die I will remain in this family like a mirror image hence reincarnation. And I will be dead but alive like in a psychosis when I felt like I was dead but in the afterlife as well. Maybe I'm just mixing up because of my psychosis. I also have a delusion that my life is a dream. I love the movie Waking Life!
Delusion, in small amounts, is a risk many are willing to take to escape shallow living and missing the point. When any theologian delves into a religious text to interpret it they often add meaning that’s not in the text. That can mean they are delusional in their belief. But theology in principle isn’t wrong even if it leads to some delusions. This is just one example on how it is better to be slightly delusional than completely shallow minded and living with hardly any imagination at all.
A question who sponsored the research in the findings of those chemical imbalances in schizophrenia. As we all know smoking was healthy stated the tobacco companies research
HOW DO PEOPLE WITH DELUSIONAL DISORDER GET ON DISABILITY OR GET HOSPITALIZED OR EVEN GET TREATMENT SINCE THIER DELUSIONS DISALOW THEM FROM ADMITTING TO BEING DELUSIONAL AND SO DO NOT ACCEPT TREATMENT??
Sometimes I feel people spying on me and no my next move I will make sometimes I see people doing all kinds of funny things which question my brain how and why the know and the more I disconnect from people certain people I wouldn’t see these funny things
My neighbor and her husband get delusional disorder and the lady someone can control easy and when she see people husband and young boy children she will run out and do all kinds of stupidity things and what you don’t want she will do more like riding her motorcycle here and there
I think I am having delusions. I have a crush on someone in my class who is gay, but we're not very close. When I found out he was gay, my feelings somehow vanished, and I focused on myself. However, recently, I learned that he drinks alcohol and smokes cigarettes. There was a time when he was drunk and messaged our class group chat. He's been struggling with his grades in physical education, and there's a possibility he might fail and have to change courses. He jokingly mentioned that he might not see his crush if he has to change courses because his crush is also our classmate. He gave a clue about who his crush is, and at first, I got excited because I thought it might be me. However, his clue doesn't match with me, and I have a hunch that his crush is a boy. But he mentioned in the group chat that he's not really gay and that he's like a chewing gum that sticks to different people. So, I thought maybe his crush is a girl, and I might have a chance. Now, I can't stop thinking about him. I keep telling myself that I'm not his crush and that his crush is a boy, but my mind keeps suggesting that he might like me. I can't help it, and I think I'm experiencing delusions. Every time we see each other in school, I always think he's glaring at me, copying me, and trying to be near me. I feel really bad about myself because it seems like my mind is creating things and making me believe they are true. It's alarming, and I don't know how to stop it. Do you think I am experiencing delusions?
You can not stop thinking about something, you just start thinking about something else. watch stop thinking about elephant on youtube. just find something else something more interesting to think about.
I previously had delusional disorder but now I am fine But I am having a thought ki Damini ka mama mere papa ka murder karwane wala he kissi muslim ke haath se. Lekin actually mastermind isme Damini ka mama he hai. Bilkul waise he jaise Damini ke mama ne mere jijaji ka murder karwaya tha muslims ke hatho. Lekin actually mastermind Damini ka mama he tha.

I strongly believe that long lasting stress or traumatic events or impact of certain microorganisms and chemicals cause delusions.

@@AskDrErikWhat is the difference between delusions and schizophrenia ?
Thanks a lot for this so informative video.
I'm wondering how family members could help these people. They usually do not accept any help 😢

Your family, friends and doctor needs to observe you for any recurrence when you are off medicine.
I had really heavy delusions for nine months. By a miracle I did get better. They still kept me on medicine.

Bro same..i want to get out from all these
My mom may have this and she is 73. But we are trying to figure out if it’s dementia or delusional disorder
Same with my mom, and she is 74 and so lost in what to do

Really? Did you ever find out
I have a delusion that I'm in the afterlife with my family and when I die I will remain in this family like a mirror image hence reincarnation.

What if someone has adhd and delusional disorder? What would happen to their dopamine?
Please reply to my comment. I wanted to know if there's a chance that this is curable.
Try Sertraline and Aristada injection together

I have delusions but I'm too far gone now. I want to escape back home leave this alt reality behind
I agree, I just want to go back to hell and be on my throne
Sometimes I feel people spying on me and no my next move I will make sometimes I see people doing all kinds of funny things which question my brain how and why the know and the more I disconnect from people certain people I wouldn’t see these funny things

You can not stop thinking about something, you just start thinking about something else. watch stop thinking about elephant on youtube. just find something else something more interesting to think about.
Search "limerance" as well. Use basic CBT exercises to unwind your obsessive thoughts about your friend.
Cool separate what's real and what's fake👍🏼
Could a severe physical deformity be the catalyst for a young woman who claims a handsome tv actor is in love with her?
HA! I guess this is another disorder I'm being trying to be diagnosed with. And I right, Google? 👎👎
Examples replete all over here.
