I am diagnosed with psychotic disorders - delusional syndrome with the possibility of hallucinatory experiences, types of delusions. A large proportion of psychiatrists do not recognize this condition in me, and some say that I am depressed. I can be depressed because of my dilemma about how to make sure I'm delusional. The diagnosing persons claim that it results from the overall picture, they do not refer to tangible examples, even though I am asking them to do so. In my opinion, I have a creative or conciliatory productive mind, and I follow my view of my theses. I think that if we do not present the most fantastic theses out loud, nothing will correct them, of course, we risk a diagnosis of delusions.
With a question about the verification of delusions, you need to go to the doctor who has time to talk about it longer. It is difficult, and even impossible by definition - because if the Lord were convinced that what you think is untrue, then it would not be a delusion. A delusion is an irrefutable belief, it may disappear on its own after some time, or after treatment - when criticism returns. There may not be a sharp line between the delusional and non-delusional courts. Do you want to discuss your beliefs? If the psychiatrist perceives them as delusional, he should rather avoid discussion, because it is pointless. There is no discussion of delusions. He should, taking into account the whole context of the problem, propose a treatment. I also advise you not to prolong the discussion, the aim of which is to prove that "you are not crazy", because that is not the point. Please take a holistic view of your situation: is it not worth agreeing to treatment that will lead to greater harmony with yourself and the environment? I can't specify it because I don't know your situation, but delusion is never the only and isolated problem. Regards!
