Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jamal's symptoms fit the criteria for delusional disorder, as he only has one persistent delusion without any other psychotic symptoms, and he is still able to function normally otherwise. Schizophrenia spectrum and schizophreniform disorders both involve more severe and persistent symptoms, while brief psychotic disorder involves a sudden onset of psychotic symptoms that last for a short period of time.
