delusions

Delusions are false beliefs held firmly despite clear evidence that they are incorrect. They are a common symptom of mental health conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. These beliefs are not influenced by logic or facts and can involve ideas such as thinking one has special powers, is being persecuted, or that others are plotting against them. While they feel real to the person experiencing them, delusions are distortions of reality, often requiring professional treatment to manage effectively.
