On being liberal about delusion

Ahmedabad | Monday | 21st May, 2018

Summary:

Though delusion is a mental health issue, it doesn't enjoy the branding that now glamourised anxiety and depression disorders enjoy. So, dear liberals, instead of treating this as an opportunity to demean Gujarat, please treat it as an opportunity to spread awareness about delusion disorders. While subjective-ness of "madness" is now becoming more and more apparent to science, delusional individuals are still treated as madmen by the society. It is only when the story of a given individual gets a bit too outlandishly unique, we start looking at it as a delusion. It is only when a person starts responding to the delusion extensively enough to get out of sync with common reality, it becomes a matter of medical concern..
