Psychosomatic
delusions
Delusions,
without any doubt, reflect a mental abnormality.
- A person with
psychosomatic delusions believes that there is some pathology or
abnormality with some part or system or organ of his body, though in
reality he is physically healthy.
- This may
ultimately lead to delusions of persecution. In extreme cases, some of
these persons may commit suicide.
- In nihilistic
delusions, a sufferer does not believe in the existence of earthly matters
or happenings. He even may not believe in his own existence. Such persons
suffer from an extreme negative attitude about everything. These subjects
may be the victims of accidents and they may even commit suicide.
- If because of
such delusions, he thinks that another person is out to cheat him and on
such a false belief if he kills that person then he will be responsible
for the killing. This is at par with the provision of the law and natural
justice; because law provides that a man reserves the right to protect his
own life.
