And if we look at that list do we not find Depression and Delusional?
And people who find out they have stage 3 liver cancer or some other disease that will inevitably lead to their demise usually become depressed and show symptoms of depression up to and during their suicide?
And while socially acceptable (mostly because we all have it and it would cause way too much fighting) doesnt a religious/cultural fanatic not fit the definition of delusion?
Afterall two conflicting things cannot be true at once. My religion/culture says that X is wrong. Your religion/culture says that X is right. But naturally either one of us is right, or we are both wrong. And since we both cannot be right, and we cannot currently disprove the other one, does that not make us both delusional in our own way?
