Delusion of reference (health)


A delusion whose theme is that events, objects, or Other persons in one's immediate environment have a particular and unusual significance. These delusions are usually of a negative or pejorative Nature, but also may be grandiose in content. This differs from an idea of Reference, in which the false belief is not as firmly held nor as fully organized into a true belief.
