Are Conspiracy Theories Just Delusion? The 6 Types of Delusional Disorders



Published
Conspiracy Theories have been around for a long time, but are they actually just signs of delusional disorder? There are 6 types of delusional disorders.

While conspiracy theories can be fun to speculate, are truly believing them a sign of Delusional Disorder? According to an article published on the Cleveland Clinic, delusional disorder, previously known as paranoid disorder, is a type of serious mental illness in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined. Delusions are unshakable beliefs in something untrue. They usually involve misinterpretation of perceptions or experiences, however, the situations are either untrue or highly exaggerated. Delusional people usually function normally and don’t behave in an odd or bizarre manner, although there are other psychotic disorders that might also involve delusion as a symptom. In some extreme cases, people with delusional disorders can become so preoccupied that their lives are disrupted due to the delusions. Delusional disorder is most common in people in middle to late life.
