As a result of his many serious mental illnesses and patchy, almost nonexistent professional treatment for them, Daniel has had several constant patterns of delusions (also spelled as delusional thinking) throughout his life. The DSM-5 defines delusions as: "[...] fixed beliefs that are not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence [...]".<ref>[https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4471967/#:~:text=The%20DSM%2D5%20definition%20is,in%20light%20of%20conflicting%20evidence%E2%80%9D. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4471967/#:~:text=The%20DSM%2D5%20definition%20is,in%20light%20of%20conflicting%20evidence%E2%80%9D.]</ref> Simultaneously, it is defined by the National Library of Medicine as: "[...] a fixed false belief based on an inaccurate interpretation of an external reality despite evidence to the contrary."<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK539855/</ref> Delusions themselves are not a unified kind of phenomena; they are usually divided into ''persecutory'', ''grandiose'', ''somatic'', ''erotomanic'', ''referential'' and ''nihilistic'' delusions, among other kinds. | |||
=== Persecutory delusions === | |||
Daniel has a well-established persecution complex. | |||
=== Grandiose delusions === | |||
Daniel has a well-established grandeur complex. | |||
=== Somatic delusions === | |||
Daniel has many weird or delusional beliefs/ways of thinking about the many sensations and functions of his body. | |||
=== Erotomanic delusions === | |||
Daniel has many weird, if not depraved sexual delusions towards others, in particular [[Grace VanderWaal]]. | |||
=== Referential delusions === | |||
Daniel often times sees gestures, comments and environmental cues, that, to the mentally sound, would be benign and confidential; for Daniel, however, he has had several moments where he believed such things were directed at him.j | |||
=== Nihilistic delusions === | |||
Daniel has been recorded to, on occasion, hold delusion beliefs of an impending catastrophe. | |||
