"U Know Who" wrote
This is Doug in a nutshell...no pun intended...oh well, why lie, it was intended. Delusions Definition A delusion is an unshakable belief in something untrue. These irrational beliefs defy normal reasoning, and remain firm even when overwhelming proof is presented to dispute them. Delusions are often accompanied by hallucinations and/or feelings of paranoia, which act to strengthen confidence in the delusion. Delusions are distinct from culturally or religiously based beliefs that may be seen as untrue by outsiders. Description Delusions are a common symptom of several mood and personality-related mental illnesses, including schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, shared psychotic disorder, major depressive disorder, and bipolar disorder. They are also the major feature of delusional disorder. Individuals with delusional disorder suffer from long-term, complex delusions that fall into one of six categories: persecutory, grandiose, jealousy, erotomanic, somatic, or mixed. There are also delusional disorders such as dementia that clearly have organic or physical causes. Persecutory Individuals with persecutory delusional disorder are plagued by feelings of paranoia and an irrational yet unshakable belief that someone is plotting against them, or out to harm them. Grandiose Individuals with grandiose delusional disorder have an over-inflated sense of self-worth. Their delusions center on their own importance, such as believing that they have done or created something of extreme value or have a "special mission." Jealousy Jealous delusions are unjustified and irrational beliefs that an individual's spouse or significant other has been unfaithful. Erotomanic Individuals with erotomanic delusional disorder believe that another person, often a stranger, is in love with them. The object of their affection is typically of a higher social status, sometimes a celebrity. This type of delusional disorder may lead to stalking or other potentially dangerous behavior. Somatic Somatic delusions involve the belief that something is physically wrong with the individual. The delusion may involve a medical condition or illness or a perceived deformity. This condition differs from hypochondriasis in that the deformity is perceived as a fixed condition not a temporary illness. Mixed Mixed delusions are those characterized by two or more of persecutory, grandiose, jealousy, erotomanic, or somatic themes. Causes & symptoms Some studies have indicated that delusions may be generated by abnormalities in the limbic system, the portion of the brain on the inner edge of the cerebral cortex that is believed to regulate emotions. The exact source of delusions has not been conclusively found, but potential causes include genetics, neurological abnormalities, and changes in brain chemistry. Delusions are also a known possible side effect of drug use and abuse (e.g., amphetamines, cocaine, PCP). Diagnosis Patients with delusional symptoms should undergo a thorough physical examination and patient history to rule out possible organic causes (such as dementia). If a psychological cause is suspected, a mental health professional will typically conduct an interview with the patient and administer one of several clinical inventories, or tests, to evaluate mental status. Treatment Delusions that are symptomatic of delusional disorder should be treated by a psychologist and/or psychiatrist. Though antipsychotic drugs are often not effective, antipsychotic medication such as thioridazine (Mellaril), haloperidol (Haldol), chlorpromazine (Thorazine), clozapine (Clozaril), or risperidone (Risperdal) may be prescribed, and cognitive therapy or psychotherapy may be attempted. If an underlying condition such as schizophrenia, depression, or drug abuse is found to be triggering the delusions, an appropriate course of medication and/or psychosocial therapy is employed to treat the primary disorder. The medication, typically, will include an antipsychotic agent. Prognosis Delusional disorder is typically a chronic condition, but with appropriate treatment, a remission of delusional symptoms occurs in up to 50% of patients. However, because of their strong belief in the reality of their delusions and a lack of insight into their condition, individuals with this disorder may never seek treatment, or may be resistant to exploring their condition in psychotherapy. So Doug, IF you get proper help, there is hope you can rejoin the planet. Look at all the bandwith you take up with your obsession Randy. where is landshark to complain to your ISP now?? if you and steveo stupido stopped answering Doug the strife would stop, but you cant do that and that is why he will never stop, and you guys will always be keyclowns, a title you deserve for your stupidity. OK now post some tiny url you spent hours googling for LOL |

OK now post some tiny url you spent hours googling for LOL You are the ONLY one here whom spends hours Googling. I don't give a ****. But please, be my guest and explain how, in your infinite wisdom, I have made Doug Adair, N8WWM the nutcase/psycho/demented/delusional nutjob that he is. This should really be interesting. I'm not a keyclown, any more than you are, but Doug is truly a nutjob, and that fact cannot be denied. If you have doubts, please reread the post above. It is a very clear and concise medical definition. It fits Mr. Adair to a "t". It does not take a rocket scientist to realize your "friend" is truly ****ed up, and the keyclowns will probably disown me for this, but I suspect you have realized the same. (remember the kudos you erroneously gave me?) |
