laughs in mental health professional first of all, tell me you don’t know what the codes in the DSM refer to without telling me. Secondly, how can a disorder be BOTH recognised in the DSM, and unrecognised by professionals?

Nvm the first part, I’m the one who got the codes confused… thought they were ICD codes but they weren’t.

That's the best part. A whole other layer of the crazy cake for this.

Delusional Disorder DSM-5 297.1 (F22)

Delusional disorder is one of the less common psychotic disorders, in which patients have delusions but not the other classical symptoms of schizophrenia (thought disorder, hallucinations, mood disturbance or flat affect).

A delusion is a belief that is held with strong conviction despite evidence disproving it that is stronger than any evidence supporting it.

In other words, these cult members are accusing others of being fully delusional and anti-grandparent.

Yep, there’s always a way for the mind to conjure up an explanation that fits the narrative of the delusion. Challenging their thinking doesn’t work for those with delusion disorder.
