Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Delusional disorders are also called paranoid disorders because the main symptom is the presence of one or more non-bizarre delusions (false beliefs that are plausible but not based in reality) with a persecutory or grandiose theme. The person with the disorder may believe they are being followed, spied on, or harmed by someone or some group. This can lead to significant impairment in functioning and relationships. While delusional disorders can be characterized as a type of psychosis, they are not the same as schizophrenia.
