A member asked:
What are delusions that people with schizophrenia have?
15 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
A wide range: Delusions associated with schizophrenia can cover the gamut from believing one has superpowers (reading minds, influencing world events, being invulnerable) to fears of persecution (others reading your mind, having devices implanted in the body for various purposes, being made fun of on tv) to grandiose ideas of being sent to save the world or protect it from some specific danger.

Delusions: Are defined as beliefs held despite evidence to the contrary. Delusions can be grandiose (i am god), paranoid (the cia is out to get me), persecutory (everyone is against me), nihilistic (the world and everything related to it have disappeared, and may others.
