Delusions
Delusions are unwavering convictions about something that isn’t true, probable, or actual. Grandiose illusions can occur in people. It indicates that they think they possess unique abilities or are invulnerable.
A person with a delusion of grandeur believes they are someone other than who they are, like a celebrity or supernatural character. The idea that one has unique talents, possessions, or powers can also be a sign of a delusion of grandeur.
A mental health problem is typically the cause of delusions. Even yet, not everyone with delusions satisfies the complete diagnostic standards for a mental health problem. Delusions of grandeur can be challenging to spot since the individual experiencing them is certain that the illusion is real. Delusions can also be difficult to discern from what is referred to as an “overvalued concept,” or a thought that isn’t entirely true but isn’t a delusion either.
If it coexists with other mental health symptoms, it is simpler to identify a delusion of grandeur. Bipolar disorder along with schizophrenia are more likely to cause it. Delusions are more likely to occur in someone with a history of bipolar disorder and prior delusions.
