Delusions are the state of being deluded or a person has strong beliefs that are not true and may seem irrational to others and also involve unusual thought content such as, individuals experiencing delusions talk as they got messages via television from their friends or relatives and response to then via television or radio, or they may believe that as others are trying to hurt them (also referred to as paranoia) or as they are in danger, their bodies or thoughts are being controlled by outside forces, they are especially important or have unusual powers over others and they also believe as other people read their thoughts.
