Delusional disorder is a mental health condition characterized by the presence of one or more persistent false beliefs, known as delusions. These beliefs are often implausible and can involve themes such as persecution, grandiosity, or jealousy. Individuals with this disorder may firmly hold onto their delusions despite evidence that contradicts them, which can significantly impact their daily lives and relationships. The disorder typically lasts for at least one month and can occur in various forms, including paranoid delusions or erotomanic delusions. Treatment often involves psychotherapy and, in some cases, medication to help manage symptoms. Early intervention can improve outcomes for those affected.
