My DD experience

I am new to this forum, and somewhat apprehensive about divulging my experience with Delusional Disorder. However, I'm hopeful that others can help to provide me with insight or advice about my illness.

In 1996 I began to experience many of the classic symptoms of delusional disorder. I would be walking down the street or riding the bus or taking notes in class while people around me would start talking to me in "code." Any ...

In many cases I was the one who experienced the event and then told him and some time later he incorporated it into his own memory and made it his experience, ...

brother has hallucination

My brother just told me a few days ago that he sees things that are not quite normal. He didn't go into great detail, so I am a bit vague in my explanation.

He said he started having these experiences when he was in ...
