10 Psychotic Episode Symptoms
Delusions, Feelings of Grandiosity
People experiencing a psychotic episode may sometimes experience feelings of grandiosity. They may have delusions, for example, believing themselves to be God or some other important, all-knowing entity. They may believe they were sent to earth to accomplish some great mission.1‘Psychosis.’ National Alliance on Mental Illness, 2021, nami.org/About-Mental-Illness/Mental-Health-Conditions/Psychosis
Such feelings may sometimes compel the individual to act in ways that aren't aligned with reality or even in their best interest. They may cause the person to act in ways that are unsafe or reckless.
