A member asked:
If somebody were to have delusions about being communicated to and controlled by invented supernatural beings, could this be delusional disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: This sounds like symptoms of a psychotic disorder. The probability of a specific underlying disorder depends on age, medical condition ; other factors. Drugs are a common cause and delusional disorder is rare. A psychiatry eval is needed to clarify.
