Delusion Criteria Display

Field Label

delusions criteria: a false belief based on incorrect inference about external reality that is firmly held despite what almost everyone else believes and despite what constitutes incontrovertible and obvious proof or evidence to the contrary. The belief is not one ordinarily accepted by other members of the person's culture or subculture. When a false belief involves a value judgment, it is regarded as a delusion only when the judgment is so extreme as to defy credibility. Code overvalued ideas (unreasonable and sustained beliefs that are maintained with less than delusional intensity) as "2." for each psychotic symptom coded "3," describe the actual content and indicate the period of time during which the symptom was present.   moreover, for any psychotic symptom coded "3." determine whether the symptom is definitely "primary" or whether there is a possible or definite etiological substance (including medication) or general medical condition.  below is the list of possible etiological general medical conditions and substances/medications.
