What Is Delusional Disorder?
5. Persecutory
It is unfortunately true that there are some unpleasant people in the world that are willing to do others harm. It is not often that we will encounter such people, however, and the vast majority of other people have no interested in harming other people. Still, some might feel as though other people are out to harm them, even it is not true.
Patients with persecutory delusional disorder will often feel as though other people are conspiring to cause them harm. They can be convinced that they are being spied on, or being followed by nefarious characters. People with the condition will often make complaints to the authorities regarding perceived threats.
