Delusion of reference is a psychological condition where an individual believes that common elements of the environment, such as conversations, television shows, or events, are directly related to them or hold special significance. Characteristics include a strong conviction that external stimuli are conveying personal messages, coupled with a lack of insight into the irrationality of these beliefs. This type of delusion often occurs in various psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and mood disorders. It can significantly impact social interactions and the individual's ability to function in daily life.
Paranoid schizophrenia is when there is a presence of a delusion, a false belief, and possibly a hallucination that fuels that delusion. Types of delusion include delusional jealousy, erotomanic delusion, persecutory delusion, grandiose, and somatic delusion.
