Delusion of persecution

Persecuted delusion is a chronic disease that is dominated by systematic and organized delusions. The prevalence rate is estimated to be about 0.03%, and there is no gender difference between men and women, and most of them occur in middle or late adulthood. The delusions of paranoid patients are "non-weird", meaning that the content will involve contextual content that can occur in daily life, such as being tracked, poisoned, admired, deceived or framed by family members, etc. Generally speaking, people with delusional symptoms do not have hallucinations, and a small number have tactile hallucinations or olfactory hallucinations related to the subject of delusions. Except for the content related to delusion, which may be affected (such as hiding in the house because of fear of being chased by the underworld), the other behaviors and appearances are normal. The patient's personality, intelligence, and his relationship with the environment are not too big. Obstacles occur.
