Delusional disorder is a relatively uncommon psychiatric condition in which patients present with non-bizarre delusions, but with no accompanying prominent perceptual disturbances, thought disorder or significant and sustained mood symptoms. Apart from their delusions, people with delusional disorder may continue to socialize and function in a normal manner and their behavior does not generally seem odd or bizarre to others for many years of the onset of their symptoms. Because of this, they are brought to the clinician many years after the onset of their symptoms, only when their delusional behavior becomes overt. Thus, identifying and treating delusional disorders in time is a challenging task.
妄想障碍是一种相对不常见的精神疾病，患者表现为非怪异的妄想，但没有伴随明显的知觉障碍、思维紊乱或显著且持续的情绪症状。除了妄想之外，患有妄想障碍的人可能会继续正常社交和生活，在症状出现后的许多年里，他们的行为在他人看来通常并不奇怪或怪异。因此，直到他们的妄想行为变得明显时，才会在症状出现多年后被带到临床医生处。因此，及时识别和治疗妄想障碍是一项具有挑战性的任务。
