What r examples of schizo delusions? do they have to be extreme? what r examples of non extreme delusions that can be psychotic

They do not.: Delusions are fixed beliefs that do not change, even when a person is presented with conflicting evidence. They do not have to be extreme as in "nonbizarre" such as the belief that they are under police investigation despite lack of evidence.

Semantics: psychosis is a state of mind that allows us to believe , sense, feel, see, smell, or hear something that doesn't exist. In schizophrenia the brain is hard wired for psychosis. Delusions are scenarios we construct out of desire or fear that we believe. i.e. those people are watching me or everyone thinks I'm awesome. Considering the possibility is normal, believing it without verification is not.
