Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a female.I am 17 years old.Since more than a year back,when i used to see a country's name(e.g-in a newspaper,a billboard or hear it from a person),i felt like it brought some sort of message for me.At first it seemed like i had some sort of telepathic power n i was happy..but gradually it got too frequent.I started asking illogical questions...n found answers from those names on TV or newspaper or back of some car..One day i was surfing the net n i got to know these are some symptoms of delusional disorder.now i am pretty confused.What should i do?
I went through your query and can understand what you must be going through with such such symptoms. You are right in mentioning that the experiences that you have mentioned are suggestive of delusion. It is termed as delusion of reference where one feels that others are tying to refer to him/her through various means.
I would suggest that you should seek a psychiatric consultation for complete evaluation. Self diagnosis is often wrong and a detailed interview will help the psychiatrist determine what you are suffering from and initiate treatment accordingly.
I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.
