What Is Delusional Disorder?
8. Symptoms
The main symptom of delusional disorder is delusions. Other symptoms that are associated with the condition are a poor mood, anger, and irritability. People with the condition will also sometimes experience hallucinations that are related to their delusions. The hallucinations that the patient can experience can be just as real to the patient as reality.
The hallucinations can be visual, meaning the patient will see things that are simply not there. What’s more is that the patient can also experience auditory hallucinations, and they may also detect smells that don’t exist. Having realistic hallucinations will often only reinforce the patient’s belief in their delusions.
