In psychiatry we come across individuals who have delusions. These are fixed false beliefs outside of usual norms, such as clowns are stealing human parts for themselves. Hallucinations can be seeing,hearing or feeling things that other people cannot. So actually seeing the clowns. We aim to understand the belief, explore how it effects the person, offer diagnosis, treatment and reassurance. Saying it’s not real often does not help and can lead to more distress. #psychiatry #psychology #mentalhe
