What are the early symptoms of delusional disorder (persecutory type)?

In general, early symptoms of delusional disorder (persecutory type) include delusions of persecution, hallucinations related to the delusions, and emotional disturbances. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Delusions of Persecution

Due to a lack of security, patients exhibit extreme distrust toward the external environment, constantly believing that people and things around them intend to cause them harm.

2. Hallucinations Related to Delusions

In the absence of actual external stimuli, patients may see, hear, or feel things that are not real.

3. Emotional Disturbances

When perceiving danger or unexpected changes in their surroundings, patients may experience psychological tension, increased stress, and even emotions such as self-blame and avoidance.

In addition, long-term presence of persecutory delusional disorder may lead to symptoms such as depression. It is recommended to take this condition seriously and seek timely medical treatment at a hospital.
