I appreciate it. I wish I could properly respond right now but I'm on my mobile so I can't even see your reply while I type this, plus I should be asleep. I hope your psychiatrist believed you, though. I have a good way to tell my counselor about my social anxiety, after what happened last Friday. At least something good might come out of that day.

People who have delusions are not aware they have delusions. If they thought their beleif was a delusion then it would not be a delusion. I have been told this by a psychiatrist I saw who specializes in psychosis. I'm not saying that other person doesnt suffer from delusions though. I still really recommend that person see a mental health proffesional. And sometimes the voices people hear come from inside their head and they are still auditory hallucinations.

Also if someone doesnt believe a delusion anymore then they can recognize it as a delusion. And according to the DSM in order for it to be a delusion it has to last at least four days but not all mental health proffesionals go by this.

One thing, though, if something is purely inside of your head, it does not qualify as an auditory hallucination.

You can have insight at certain times though. You can be aware that it is not exactly a true thought.

EDNOS possible.

Do you know anyways to cope with delusional disorder? more specifically persecutory delusions.

If you suffer from delusions, you may find value in the following list of practical coping strategies:1. In some cases, delusions have a quality similar to the experiences in a lucid dream. A lucid dream is a dream in which you become aware that you are dreaming. It is then possible to break out of the dream or control it. This often happens with delusions. A part of your consciousness whispers,"This can't be real. These ideas are impossible." Under these conditions, it is possible for you to take some control over the delusions.2. When you are in good reality contact, when your delusions have retreated to the corners of your mind, take advantage of a behaviour therapy technique called stress-inoculation training. Stress-inoculation training involves preparing yourself ahead of time for a stressful situation. Play a mental movie of future situations in which a delusion interferes with your ability to function effectively. Visualize how you will cope in a practical manner, and work around the delusion. Stress-inoculation training can forearm you against your own unbidden delusional tendencies.3. Make sure that your nutrition is adequate, that you obtain enough protein, carbohydrates, vitamines, and minerals. There is a substantial amount of evidence suggesting that clear thinking is associated with a healthy brain and nervous system. One way to look at the mind is to think of it as the brain and nervous system in action. A healthy mind requires an equally healthy body. To be more specific, certain chemical messengers in the brain (Eg. norepinephrine) are required for rational thought. These are synthesized out of substances provided by food. The B-complex vitamins have been found to be of particular importance.4. Do not act on the basis of an idea that you think is true and that most other people think is false. Consider that it just might be a delusion. Do not jump from a roof just because you think you can fly. Do not try to live without food just because you think you are immortal and do not need it. Listen to the small voice within you that says,"I might hurt myself. May be other people are right."5. Avoid the use of psychoactive drugs. These include amphetamines, cocaine, morphine, heroin, cannabis, and lysergic acid diethylamide-25. These drugs interact with a tendency to have delusions and sometimes greatly increase the level of irrational thought.6. Be aware of the concept of consensual reality, that is, the way a well-defined group (eg. a family, a tribe) sees the world. Although from a strict philosophical point of view one cannot say that the group's perception of reality as a fact, be practical. Work with their reality, not against it, if you want to reduce your level of conflict and suffering.If a partner, child or other person close to you suffers from delusions, below are coping strategies that may be of some value:7. Do not challenge a delusion directly. Do not tell the troubled person such things as, "That's silly" or "That's nonsense." Do not discount the delusion and attempt to minimize its importance. Such blunt frontal attacks tend to galvanize resistance and push the individual farther into the delusion.8. Try to encourage the other person to be as practical as possible in spite of the delusion. Describe the logical consequences of actions. Orient the individual toward reality by pointing out that a given behaviour may lead to imprisonment, bodily injury, or property damage. Working with the assumptions of the delusion, help the person steer clear of its buried dangers.If you find that you cannot cope adequately with delusions, there are a number of ways in which the professions of psychiatry and clinical psychology can help you.
