I think the doctor mistook narcissism for delusional personality disorder. A delusion is a break from reality. What duty of care does a person experiencing a delusional episode owes society, DR?
I know, I swear they’re pretending a lot of the time but that’s usual the difference between how I just sociopathy from a personality disorder or some schizophrenic thing but yeah some sociopaths also have the self defence mechanisms so it’s hard to differentiate
*NUDGEABLE, some of us have yet to learn better!* I survived child neglect and abuse, but it's the lack of social training that held me back. Thank you to all of the patient, kind people who modelled better behavior, and told the truth with love to me. 👍🙏💞
If someone has a delusional disorder, then professional help is most likely necessary. Unfortunately, these people often won't seek treatment voluntarily. They can often be violent.
In a society hidden behind a screen. Everyone see's the events of the world displayed like a shadow on a cave wall. The world lives in a deluison, and no one understands how important it is people become more aware. Delusions are everywhere and its frightening that people are just openly conceding to them. I wish to learn more.
big facts people dont realise this is all one big game for your mind and to see who can control who with their products or their ideals. Truth matters and truth will prevail.
I tell you what a woman told me when I started out in the army. She was a sergeant E7 and she never talked that much. Finally I asked her why. She told me because of three reasons: 1) Some people are insane and it's wise to find out who they so I can avoid them or find out how to handle them. 2) Some people are out for themselves 24/7/365 and they're looking for me to say something that they can reinterpretate to use against me. 3) Some want to curry favor with me, so they can get advantages. That will show favoritism and it will ruin the cohesion of the my unit.
Ironically the entire goal of military training is to manipulate people into becoming killers because people won't become that way without manipulation.
Chet Pomeroy Cluster B is a cluster of wild personality disorders. NPD being the least likely of them to have delusional thoughts. If you said Cluster A you would have been more along the lines. I guess everyone is a psychologist these days, though.
I’m 19 and I live with my mom who is 54. For the past three years she been convinced that we’re being followed and watched by the government/other people. I was tolerable at first because I didn’t know better and it was suddenly new, but now she’s accusing me of plotting against her. She’s been accusing her closest friends and even some of our family of plotting against her too. I wish I could get away but she’s all I have 🥺😔
How's your mom now? One of my sibling is exactly the same as your mother and we are not able to convince him to approch a therapist.He says he's completely normal.May God help everyone who's in this kind of situation.Life is really hard for such people and their caretaker.
@Riki D. Your mom is probably experiencing psychosis because of a condition like schizophrenia. It's a common symptom for people experiencing psychosis to suffer delusions and paranoia. I would advise you to go and talk about your options with a hospital or clinic trained for mental health. Since your mother is experiencing pretty advanced symptoms, they might be able to forcibly take action. I don't know how this works in the US. This warrants clinical help, they're psychiatric delusions. Your mom certainly needs help. It's terrifying to live in an altered state of reality. She could end up harming herself or others around her. Take care sweetie. I understand how tough and challenging it must be for you. You're strong but you need help. I hope you are alright
@@Rikiid_ She won't believe you because all logical thought processes and rational thinking doesn't apply to delusions. She will always be convinced that she is right and that everyone else is crazy or plotting against her. This is not something she can snap out of by herself. You can oppose her with logical reasoning as many times as you want, she won't let go of her delusions and will forever believe you're the wrong one, and ultimately that you're against her too. The only way to help her would be therapy and medication. You are so young, I'm very sorry you have to deal with this on your own. I know how terrible it feels to feel helpless while losing a loved one. to feel helpless watching a loved one loose their grip on reality.
I'm dealing with a ex-girlfriend who is harassing me and current girlfriend, she believes that I'm the ultimate Evil, she very well of her actions and what she is doing. Because she believe her doing is making a impact. This has been going on for almost a year, I've taken her to court about to get a restraining orders but the judge has denied it due to lack of evidence.
It’s so hard to show face every day when I’m dealing with this in my household, my Popps thinks my mom had an affair. And with the walls around us it’s like the world truly can’t see all the shit he’s putting her through
Hey man I have same problem, but here's my mom thinks about my father ,I m totally helpless I can understand your pain,I also want a normal life to live with my parents without any regrets,do you know any cure of it please help I beg u.i want to ask,is everything alright?
I have the same problem with my mom. She's insiting that this guy, loves my sister for 2 years now. She is now even bothering this guy thru messenger, saying he can court my sister and they can be together. I don't know how to deal with her anymore. My sister can't focus on her studies because of her.
Tell her to leave him, MoM separation isn't a divorce, you just need some self-care. I would save up with her to get a nice hotel room. Just my Mom & Me. Help her fight for her, and keep everything a secret. Once in the hotel room. Encourage her to truly see what your Dad is doing to her. I did it with my Mom. My Mom is my ❤️ heart. Ask her to name something she always wanted to do, and you encourage daily.
I used ti be delusional and I have recovered well but still suffers from paranoid personality disorder. My guilt of past actions is hunting me and I am scared that I return to my old state.
This is scary… once encountered people who copied everything in this girls life then tried to shame her for trying to take ownership of the things in her life that were hers. I’m talking down to hair and fashion sense…it was the ABSOLUTE scariest and most TRAUMATIC thing to watch. Mental Health issues are a real concern in our society.
Delusions are a manifestation of a serious mental condition not a nuisance. Those are actually people. What that fraud just described are traits of narcissism not delusions…..funny how she wrote and entire book yet fail to comprehend the difference between a mental sickness and sociopathic behaviour.
you dont need life, u need to suffocate others with your toxic characther and your stupidity ill. that is what you dont comprehand. get the fuck lost from peopls life . u are killing people with ur shit from the brain.
I suffered from delusions and grandeur ideas before, terrible beast to tackle, had to implement hour long meditation and consciousness increasing exercises daily for 3 years or so. Ever since i mastered my own psychology (easier said than done) i realised i was really good at it and became increasingly frustrated when i realised my mother was the one who had passed delusional genetic traits to me...she had mad delusions and is extremely detrimental to our family. It was completely mind blowing how someone could be so deeply entrenched in delusion and not see it at all. But then again i suppose i was like that to...but i surrendered my ego so it is possible. To this day it blows my mind, not just that a person can be in delusion, but how many are in some level of delusion or another. very interesting field to study
My dad seems HIGHLY delusional and i find its very hard accepting for some reason. I will try to point out logical inconsistencies, but logic doesnt seem to work for some reason... Very annoying for me because I try to be as in alignment with reality as possible and dont understand how people can be so delusional....
I'm 34 and I still live at my parents. My father is 76 and he clearly shows signs of delusions. He has been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder as well as schizoid personality disorder. After a brain surgery to remove a tumor, he was left with a brain injury. He is in complete denial about his condition. He believes he will become the richest man on earth by 2033. He thinks he invented a new source of renewable energy and he compares himself to Einstein. He doesn't believe his wife (they've been together for 35 years) when she tells him he is out of touch with reality. He believes he has savant syndrome due to his brain surgery and that he also have aspergers syndrome. During the last few years he sued the shit out of everyone. He said: "I hate feeling being persecuted". He wants to show everybody he is right but the thing is, he lost every single cause and he still believes to this day, that he is the one in the right. To be fair he won 1 cause over 27.
This was really helpful and wonderful to learn from you. I am often worried about the health status of my father because i am more and more trying to understand and analyze the kind of person he is and why he does what he does and what he has done. Cheating on my mother. Leaving the family for another woman and her kids. Getting them a huge half a million dollar home. Everything they ever wanted. Being extremely manipulative and narcassictic. Even going as far as believing his own lies and events that never happened. It is bizarre. I believe he is the "aware, dont care" type. Ive been trying more and more to convey my feelings and speak with him logically over certain subjects but even in the end he still chooses to steamroll over me. Divorce is awful. I wish my parents never split up. I have handled it well. But over time now i have come to trying to work with him and trying to understand him. Even if its toxic. I dont understand him and i feel trying to understand it even if its negative. Will hopefully give me some ease to mind. But sadly it has not. It has just made me worry more about my dad's health. The choices he has made in life. And where he will go when he dies.
My mother is literally both 1 and 2, it is SO hard to change her behaviour, I would call myself pretty "intelligent" (compared to the average lol..) and still needed around 3-4 YEARS of daily repetition to change her life, it's disgusting.
Limit your interactions with holier than thou delusional people and agree with everything that they said in order to avoid going down the rabbit hole of the cycle of it's all someone else's fault. Wish them well and see them in 6 months.
She was obsessed with this idea of me cheating on her. So many times she'd just scream adamantly that I did something and SHE KNEW IT but when I asked for any proof or evidence she never had any because they were pure delusion in her mind. It's actually frightening how illogical some people can be while still pretending to an air of sanity. Glad to be rid of such a person - it's not that she's a bad person but she doesn't take accountability for her destructive emotions and delusional tendencies. I tried to tell her about it but she thinks she has no flaws and apparently it's okay to punch me in the head and give me two black eyes. Dreadful and disgraceful woman.
I’ve witnessed this and since I’m getting a grip on my own life I’m not letting someone else’s delusional or drama behavior get to me in front of them.
You can tell when people actually go through something and want to teach and talk about it, and other people who just make stuff up trying to sound enlightening, informative,or intelligent.🙄🤪
I'm in this situation with my mother, my SO agreed to take care of her home while she was away. So we put off looking for an apartment cause she needed my help. Well I knew this could get bad from the start so I sent texts to everyone my mother and I have in common and stated the plan. So I thought okay great plan in action let's help mom. The place was a mess she's in the process of "renovation" but this is apart of her delusional thoughts. She bought a house she can't afford and then retired early only to blame my dad (her ex) for her money troubles. She's sunk herself deeeep in debt has a house she can't care for and is deeply in denile it's all her fault. Fast forward to now 3 months later. She is back home and we're looking for. A place. She expects us to find something this second because we messed up her house (again when we got here there wasn't a surface in sight that wasn't full of shit). My GF and I cleaned this place and made it liveable. She comes back and the day of it is as if a tornado hit. Barely hyperbole on my end. She has completely forgetton that the whole reason i put off looking for apartments when my lease was up at my old place was so i could stay at her place and help her while she was gone. (I even still ended up paying her rent anyways so she wasnt really helping me i was paying to live here and clean up after her)
I do understand delusions but I am sympathetic. Maybe I am off but I get the sense that the doctor here is reacting to the manifestations of mental illness and not adequately responding to them. Perhaps I am wrong, and do please clarify but isn’t delusions something beyond the person’s control? She presented delusions as problematic character traits that serves to antagonize healthy people. Bioethics is something of great interest to me. As it focuses how we approach mitigating or administering to the mentally ill. There it seems like the good DR has an expectation of optimal functionality from the mentally ill…..do please clarify.
Looking at her profile, she isn't talking about real delusional people, just people that are not self-aware either internally or externally. If she tries to fix people internally, she is a narcissist. If she tries to tell people how they appear to others, then that could be a good thing. This being said, all psychologists I met expect optimal normality from the mentally ill. They will "cure" the normal who is not really ill, and diagnose and discard the mentally ill. Her categories are like that. The first is hopeless and needs to be banned, the second is dangerous and needs to be in prison probably, the later can be fixed. They are basically the gatekeepers of the healthy mind community.
So I have this childhood friend she has been having this severe delusion of men falling in love with her (including supervisors at work, married men, men have kids) for few years. For example, she thinks her previous married manager was falling in love with her because he gave her a lot of projects and tasks to do...... It’s affecting our friendship because 80% of the time when she came to me she was talking about these things. Even when I was experiencing hard postpartum issues, she still came to me talking about how these men were so obsessed with her. I recommended her to try therapist once. After she talked with the therapist, she said it’s no use and she felt like she was CURING the therapist. Anyone has any suggestions on this situation?
Reminds me of my guy friend who called me immature and delusional for telling him I liked girls and therefore I couldn't like him, then he also said that he felt I was in love with him and assured me that if I told him that was never true, he just wouldn't believe it because he felt it, idk man he's just my internet friend not even a regular friend I don't know him and I'm tired of him having the delusion that I like him or something when I would never, he doesn't care about what I feel or think, his reality is the only solution to everything, it's stressing me out, and no matter how many times I tell him I have a girlfriend, I don't like him and never will, plus he's just an internet friend I don't even know him personally, he just won't stop flirting or convincing me that I'm just confused about my sexuality (because he's been called gay because he likes flowers) and well I'm sorry for him but he knew in the end that he was straight just like I knew I'm not, what should I do? I talked to him and agreed to give us time but I'm just so stressed because I feel like whenever we talk again he'll start with the same thing again
I know someone that's schizophrenic with "the lost cause" delusions, they claim to be healthy and not crazy and won't seek help how am I supposed to get this person help
I'm in the same boat. Ultimately, if they're not your kid and underage, it's not your problem. Call the police for a welfare check maybe, if that seems safe with your country, but beyond that I'd advise just not interacting with them further. I have a delusional stalker atm and thats how my therapist suggested I deal with it
@@brandonhope4887 you should be able to call a welfare check and get him seen by a psychiatric nurse...beyond that I'm afraid the system is pretty bad at dealing with it, sending lots of mental strength!
It’s hard sometimes to not show on my face that these individuals with this type of mindset are very disturbing to be around. My smile would be fake because how can you not see and recognize disturbing behavior.
My brother broke the TV at home 4 years ago and began blaming me some days ago, he still truly believes that I did it even though I and everyone in my family tells him that he did it, directly to his face. He just can’t get it into his head because he swears I did it, I know it happened 4 years ago, I wasn’t even at home. I don’t get it? He has delusions all the time and has nothing to back it up but still believes so strongly in them? He is kind otherwise and I don’t know why he just suddenly blames other people for everything.
I have a problem. Its become a bigger and bigger problem for me but don't know how to handle it. Im swedish but have a restaurant on a small island in Thailand. One friend, a man from Israel is convinced that the Thai government is spying on him. Following him via sattelites etc etc. They believe that he's a spy. He's even been to the police station and begged them to stop. Crying 😢. They assured him nothing is wrong and he's welcome to stay but... I don't want to betray the trust he seems to have for me but yesterday he came and talked about how they listened to us via our phones and called me naive. I couldn't help myself and told him that he might be the naive one. And asked him if he ever considered that he might be wrong. I know I shouldn't have but I did. He just got a blank stare. He looks like a James Bond villain and not many people dares to argue with him. He's very alone in his bubble. Very sweet and otherwise intelligent. He doesn't use any kind of drugs. HELP!!! Don't know what to do. It's a small island and he's starting to get enemies. What can I do? Clearly delusional
I can finally deal with my brother who haves autism asperger depression mass anxiety thoughts of killing himself and delusions I hate it when he thinks he’s the boss of everyone and always thinks he right and who toke drugs and thought he was so cool and told everyone
Yes how do we deal with those who think they are kings or queens? we have one hear in england and the delusion stretches statewide. Tell us how to deal with this one Dr Eurica
Be delusional like me and imagine a laugh track after some you consider delusional says something. Isn't she aware of how arched and far apart she paints her eyebrows??
I'd rather tell a boss like that what I actually think of their bullshit and lose my job then delude myself into thinking the situation is funny. Oh to be a 3 eyed punky lil kitty. It's the life for me.
I am troubled with all ppl who talk as if others ARE this or that way always... we have worse and better periods, moments, sides. Bad behaviours and things like delusion has to do with imbalances, excesses and deficiencies, not least habit-wise and food-wise. Most get unpleasant in various ways when unhappy, tired, troubled. And subconsciously by a false paradigm from childhood.... - Was hoping for help to meet the REALLY deluded ones needing help to regain balance: Paranoid Schizophrenic humans
Doesn't really matter, tbh. If you're having an adverse effect on people, you gotta expect people to not wanna deal with you. That's just literally how human brains work. And compassion fatigue is a thing
My mom thinks I am a different child, she thinks I am "Trading" and wants her "first child back" and other times, she thinks objects were a different brand, for example, she thought that her shoes were a different brand than Adida's and it makes her upset, making her believe that it was actually a different brand. She also, like today, thought the headphones she bought me weren't the color we actually bought. The real color was white, the one she thought we got was black,and she gets mad at ME THINKING I'M TRADING OBJECTS FOR ANOTHER OBJECT, CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE. MY MOM SEES A PSYCHIATRIST AND SHE STILL DOES THIS occaisonally, and IT FRUSTRATETS ME, WHAT IS THIS CALLED WHAT SHE MIGHT HAVE?!!!!!!!!
Calista V.B.P It would be best if you can talk to the Dr. alone about your concerns. But you can only do that with your mother's permission. If so, ask them how they are treating her illness and what other treatment options are available. My only other advice is if she threatens violence to herself or others call 911. Self harm or inflicting harm on others are the only conditions where you can force someone to get more help. I'm not a mental health professional. So these are my suggestions as someone with no schooling.
Hey man I have same problem, but here's my mom thinks that my father had an affair but I know he is innocent ,I m totally helpless I can understand your pain,I also want a normal life to live with my parents without any regrets,do you know any cure of it please help I beg u.i want to ask,is everything alright now?
@@kabirjaiswal7418 Things will always be as it is, I have to live with it. I'm sure your mom may have reason to suspect your dad's cheating. I will share my pain with you. Just try to find an outlet to deal with things, for me, it's making videos, chatting up new people, or drawing/singing. In the end, your parents are who you have bu you don't have to stick with them forever. That's why i'm moving the hell out asap. If you're not happy, take action to make things happy.
@@calista910 I love your answer that I have to take action to make things happy but also upset that these problems remain as it is ,but the only thing I never loose is hope that one day everything will fine with time,I pray for your healthy life,thanks for reply Freind.😊
What I find most interesting is the coincidence of someone defining someone else as delusional. Imagining a laugh track to deal with someone who you suppose is delusional. This seems subjective to me, deciding who is delusional in the first place, but to go as far as to insert a laugh track seems pretty arrogant. Maybe this is consequence of looking at the subject from a macro perspective but this is my gut reaction.
I might have to game up on some of this stuff you're on I yearn to keep out the delusional ones from this point out I go through and deal with a lot of very unique situations and I consider myself pretty important and also from a very unique community and environment but I can ultimately fix alot of problems here and there and everywhere if things go well
people think russia and China are gonna collapse while the opposite happens and still believe media who lie to themselves and call people who disagree with you bots
Yeah ...not the first time to hear someone claim their boss is delusional, just as they are narcissistic, bipolar, low iq, low eq, psychopathic and whatnot. I sp totally believe your perception of him to be reliable.
they are not delusional.. they are sensitive to other things around that "normal" huh people are not... Thats like saying all Jesus disciples were delusional then.
Actually i want to say how reality is to my friend ,but this might be offend him,everytime he being delusional it's annoys me. Actually i want to straight forward but, i worry he commited suicide or his self- esteem is decrease. IM just Listener of his problem but when me and ma friend gave advice to him yeah he become lost cause
I believe in realism and science part of being an agnostic you can only believe in things you can see you can't believe in delusion and something that doesn't exist
Hello Dr Tasha. Yeah I have delusional stalker it's being over a year, My Cyber stalker think I am Black or it's changing a lot, and I think My cyber stalker have serious Delusion disorder and need to be treated.
My mom is a lost cause she thinks I turn on the heat and it’s her that turns on the heat but yet and still a hour later she will believe in her head that I turned on the heat and I didn’t even touch it idk what to do but it’s very annoying
My sister and nefew both SUFFER from some sort of sychophania ( sp ck)! Diagnased by professionals!!! It is soo hard to deal w/my family, I sometimes just go away!!! It doesn't matter what I do or say, I can't legally be of help tp either!!! It's too fkn bad it's not against the law to be crazy, so to speak!!!
Sychophants are ppl who crawl for others, smile and lick upwards in order to stay in good favour and be safe, maybe get benefits or sth similar, right? Didn't know that to be a diagnosis. Sounds more like natural unawareness.
