Video Notes

There are many kinds of delusions that individuals can experience. Some of the more common ones are delusions of reference, delusions of grandeur, persecutory delusions, erotomanic delusions, jealous delusions, and paranoid delusions.

A delusion of reference is when someone believes that mundane events have significant importance for them.

A delusion of grandeur is when someone believes they are extremely famous or beloved.

A persecutory delusion is when someone believes that a person or group is trying to keep them down (suppress them).

An erotomanic delusion is when someone believes that another person (usually a celebrity or person in a position of authority) is in love with them.

A jealous delusion is when someone believes that their partner is cheating on them.

A paranoid delusion is when someone believes that others are out to get them (in other words, people want to harm them in some way).
