Delusion is when someone believes things that aren't true, even when there's proof they're wrong. It's like having a mixed-up idea in your head that won't go away. People might think they're super special or that others are trying to hurt them, even when it's not real. Sometimes, this happens because of feelings or thoughts that get jumbled up in their mind.
These mistaken beliefs can make it hard for them to act like they normally would. They might act strangely or make choices that seem strange to us. We should be understanding and kind to them, because these beliefs feel real to them.
Learning about delusion helps us understand how our brains work and how emotions can affect what we think is real. It's important for doctors and counselors to know about delusion to help people who experience it. By understanding delusion, we can support people who are trying to figure out what's real and what's not in their minds.
