Delusional Disorder

Delusional Disorder

Got a lot out of watching Dr Phil yesterday where he had a middle aged woman, a former Lawyer for years, whose family bought her in because of all the false allegations from so activecslled 'active imagination' targeting family members because believed to be part of a global conspiracy to supress women... ...

I learned so much about my brother's psychosis from this and from research after.

Also like the sensitivity he had when she became confused and stressed. Terrible disease triggered by stress apparently.

Found this good article on DD:

Re: Delusional Disorder

Thanks @NaturLover, It helped me understand my brother's schitzophrenia. Didnt know 'delusional disorder' was a real condition. Wonder if it's in the DSM?

Re: Delusional Disorder

I'm the same - I didn't know about Delusional Disorder at all. Good point about the DSM...
