#12From hateful experiences, this is bullshit. In 2019 I was accused in court that "Blacks...Muslims are a delusion." I've dated both as a Muslim convert and won the case.
I said my family are jealous. January 2014 mother tried to invite 2 guys on my first African American date. Both parents banned minorities from the house. Most psychiatrists make things worse. Mother claims I'm not part of the computer industry because I am poor. Despite reading about Linux hours a day since at least the year 2000.

If you are so terrified that it interferes with your normal everyday personal functioning, then yes.

Your profile is a fun read. As long as you don't go and try and harm your mother because "she's been taken by alien visitors" you're free to believe whatever you want just like religious people believe in their own stuff.

Edit: by fun I don't mean necessarily good fiction, the typical self aggrandizing stuff you hear from religions, but it's just fun to find it in a forum like this, played straight.

#17Has anyone looked at similar studies from, say, five years ago? I worry that half of what was labeled “delusional” back then is now a widely accepted opinion.
Feels like we're one step away from a follow-up paper titled "We regret to inform you: The paranoid were just early."
Not saying everything turns out to be true - just that social consensus tends to shift a lot faster than clinical definitions.

You are exactly right.
When I read of a man from California killing his kids in Mexico because they are possessed by lizard people, or mothers killing their kids because the voice of God in their mind says so, I think of this quote I cannot quite place: to be silent in the face of a tyranny of evil is to be complicit.
No greater evil in this world exists than American Thought Control, thought controlled Americans, or an America thought controlled.
I am quite sincere friend.

#19If no one told me about this being about schizophrenia, I would interpret Figure 3 as a categorization of american movies and series.

#20What on earth is going on in the comment section? Do diagnosis articles always attract “examples”?
