Discussion
Which of the following delusions is NOT experienced in schizophrenia?
Answer: C
'Delusion of speech' is not a recognised delusion in schizophrenia. The usual delusions are delusions of persecution (the belief that others plan to harm one), reference (the belief that ordinary events or remarks are directed at oneself) and control (the belief that outside forces control one's thoughts, feelings or actions). Disorganised speech is a symptom of schizophrenia, but it is a disturbance of language and not a delusion.
Disorganised speech and thought disorder are signs of schizophrenia, whereas delusions are false beliefs held despite evidence, such as of persecution or reference.
