Persecutory Delusions

What Are Persecutory Delusions?

Persecutory Delusions, sometimes called Querulant delusions, are when a person believes (wrongly) that they are being picked on, or threatened by someone/something else.

This can be someone familiar to them (e.g. a family member), someone in the media (e.g. a film star), an organisation (e.g. the CIA), or even aliens.

It is classed under a group of Disorders known as the Delusional (Paranoid) Disorders.
