DSM-III proposes that only persecutory delusions and delusions of jealousy can occur in paranoid disorders, all other types of delusions in the absence of an affective syndrome being indicative of schizophrenia. The scant empirical evidence relevant to this issue suggests that the type of delusion on admission is not predictive of outcome in patients with paranoid psychosis. These findings raise questions about the validity of the distinction drawn in DSM-III between types of delusions.
《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版提出，偏执性障碍中仅会出现被害妄想和嫉妒妄想，在没有情感综合征的情况下出现的所有其他类型的妄想则表明患有精神分裂症。与该问题相关的实证证据很少，这表明入院时的妄想类型并不能预测偏执性精神病患者的预后。这些发现对《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版中对妄想类型所做区分的有效性提出了质疑。
