Delusional disorder is a rare chronic disease that often occurs in middle to older aged men and women. This disorder is often hard to find due to the lack of people who seek help and the fact that the symptoms include normal functioning. There are several different types of delusional disorder but they are categorized into two main subjects: non bizarre and bizarre. Under non bizarre, delusions include the belief of being controlled by aliens, belief that the world might end as they see part of themselves and the world to be nonexistent, belief that their thoughts are being exposed and said over an intercom, and they also believe that their thoughts are being taken away from themselves. Under bizarre, delusions include a sense of being stalked
