Talk:Delusion

Types of delusions are misleading
I been into page 89 of DSM V journal, the one from 2013. Not sure where these categories is coming from. They actually have a long list of types, in diagnose F22.

Confusing Formatting
The formatting on the types of delusions seems to split between two different styles: listing general descriptions of delusions and giving specific insight into delusions. I am new to Wikipedia editing, so I am avoiding changing anything that requires a higher levels of understanding to inform the general public. However, if anyone of better qualification sees this, I would recommend deleting the general listings and instead furthering the number of delusions with in-depth research.

 * I am also confused about types of delusions, that is mentioned here. When I go into the references, it says something else; it says what is mentioned in DSM V instead, in diagnose F22 2001:2020:305:A8BC:51DF:4A79:4F88:845F (talk) 07:07, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Transgender
The listed descriptive characteristics of "Delusion" might well reasonably apply to the phenomenon of people experiencing transgender ideation or tendencies. Is there any non-political reason these two conditions should not be linked for cross-reference? Yes, it's a third-rail concept, but intellectual honesty often flies in the face of personal comfort. 71.197.121.170 (talk) 23:37, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, there is. We have no reliable sources connecting the two. Read WP:OR and do not try to insert your own opinions into Wikipedia articles. --Hob Gadling (talk) 08:29, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, and before you ask: Right-wing wackjobs such as Republican politicians and the Murdoch Empire do not count as reliable sources. --Hob Gadling (talk) 08:55, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

David Graeber
the Criticism section sites critiques from David Graeber and gives his book Bullshit Jobs as a source but delusions are never mentioned in that nor is it even related to the topic of the book. I couldn't find any source of him talking about this topic so I replaced the citation with a [citation needed]. If a citation can't be found I recommend the paragraph be replaced by some else's critiques oh how delusions are understood. I can recommend Mircea Eliade, R. D. Laing, and/or Michel Foucault.
