The causes for delusions are not known, however, it is considered to be somehow related to neuropsychological diseases such as cognitive flexibility, erotomania in accordance with cognitive flexibility and copgras syndrome. There is a deep need for the study of the relationship between DD and neuropsychological disorders. From the past few decades, the causes for Delusion are being investigated. There are no defined characteristics to identify a Deluded patient. Many psychotic disorders appear to be more in one gender than the other. In delusion there is no gender difference, according to one study it is more common in the women than the men but the data on this study is not enough. It usually occurs in middle age people. Deluded patients often seem to be normal. There is no cure available to treat this disorder. Medications of other psychotic disorders are helpful in its treatment, especially effective by treatment with antidepressants. Delusion cases are not so frequent. There is a need for insight study and collection of randomized data to understand the causes and cure for this disease. This review paper will help you to understand Delusion disorder, its possible causes and treatment.
