«All right.» —A Dark Age drifter

A Dark Age drifter stood against an oncoming horde. The stuff of nightmares. Quad-armed, mouths full of shining carnivore teeth, carrying weathered but fully functional armor and weapons. They moved as a mob, their boots kicking up clouds of dust as they advanced, blades glinting in the sun.

«All right,» he said, a quiet salute to his dance partners as he wove around sizzling Arc bolts, coat trailing him like a shadow. He might not walk away from this. But they definitely wouldn’t.

His Machine Gun spoke much louder than he did, over and over.

He had never brought himself to shoot a human. Or anything even resembling a human. Risen included.

But these were no Risen. No humans.

He broke their advance like oil parting water, the repeating bloom of his heavy leading the way. A blue, viscous film covered the dirt, dust, and rocks when he was finished.

«All right,» he said, looking appreciably down at his smoking weapon. A trail of spent shells traced his path through his opponents’ ranks.

Hard to find a bite out here, most days.

Every day.

He wondered what they’d taste like.

Q: What does «random rolls» mean?


A: This item is capable of rolling with random perks when it drops.
For example, every time you get a Better Devils from Shaxx, it has the potential to be a slightly different version than others before it — maybe better, maybe worse.

Q: Why are there some perks inside of a dashed box and some outside?

A: The dashed boxes contain the perks that Bungie’s API says are possibilities in each column when the item drops.

Q: What about the stuff outside of those boxes?


A: The perks outside of the boxes are a fixed, «curated» roll from Bungie. Sometimes, that fixed version of the item will drop fully masterworked
(see Nation of Beasts or Vouchsafe for examples). Other times, those perks are just for display, such as when you preview an item from your collection.

Q: Do the two sets of perks ever cross over? Can I get a Vouchsafe with double Dragonfly?

A: If the item is capable of randomly rolling one of its fixed-roll perks, it will be included in the random rolls section as well.

Q: What do you mean by «sunsetting»?


A: Bungie has announced that beginning in Season 12, weapons will have a cap on the power to which you are able to infuse them. We’re calling this process «sunsetting».

Q: How often does this happen?

A: There will be one large sunset beginning in Season 12, in which all* legendary weapons and armor from Seasons 1-8 will be retired. After that, weapons and armor will essentially be sunset 1 year after their release.

Q: Are there any exceptions?


A: Yes. Bungie has stated that exotics will not sunset. Beyond that, gear from the Last Wish and Garden of Salvation raids will play by different rules than standard armor and weapons, though Bungie has not been fully clear on what those rules will be.

Q: So I can never use my Mountaintop / Luna’s Howl / etc again?


A: Not exactly. This change essentially only matters in activities where power matters, such as raids, Nightfalls, Trials, etc. In most open world activities and standard Crucible playlists, you will still be able to use whatever armor/weapons you want.

Furthermore, Bungie has also hinted that they intend to «re-issue» certain weapons/armor in the future, thus giving them another 12 months in the sun.

You can read the explanation directly from Bungie here.

Q: What are masterwork rolls?


A: Most legendary weapons are capable of being Masterworked. The masterwork system is a way for you to upgrade your favorite weapons to their maximum potential.

Q: What does it take to upgrade a weapon to a masterwork?


A: Upgrading your weapons, in broad terms, takes a small amount of glimmer, legendary shards, and, most importantly, Enhancement Cores.
Depending on what Tier your weapon is at, the requirements to raise it to the next tier increase the closer the weapon is to being fully masterworked (Tier 10).

Q: What benefits do I get for masterworking a weapon?


A: Each tier that you increase your weapon will grant a small buff to a single stat, chosen randomly when the item drops.
Beyond that, at Tier 5 you gain access to a kill tracker. At Tier 10, your multi-kills will generate orbs of light.

Q: So what are these «masterwork roll» stats?


A: These are the possible stats that upgrading your weapon will grant a bonus to. Depending on what tier you are at, you can grant anywhere from 1-10 additional points in any of the stats listed to your weapon.

Q: Any catch with this?


A: The Bungie API currently says that all weapons can potentially roll with all stats as their masterwork stat. This obviously isn’t accurate, as Blast Radius isn’t applicable to, say, Auto Rifles.
The list you see on this page is trimmed to only show stats that actually appear on the weapon. However, it is possible that Bungie has additional logic behind the scenes that further filters these
possibilities to, for example, prevent certain items from being able to have an Impact masterwork. Until Bungie modifies the API files to 100% accurately display which masterwork stats are possible on
each item, take what you see here with a pinch of salt.

Season 6 Gambit Pinnacle Weapon

Gaming

Corey Plante

Whenever a new season of Destiny 2 begins, new quests are introduced leading players to pinnacle weapons for Vanguard, Gambit, and Crucible. These exotic-lite weapons are some of the best in the game, so the accompanying quest is often quite the grind, and that remains true for Season 6’s Gambit pinnacle weapon, 21% Delirium.

Season of Opulence began in early June, but for anybody who acquired the quest for 21% Delirium during Season 6 (aka, Season of the Drifter) it might still be sitting in your pursuits tab. Because the bounty references a triumph, it can get a little confusing trying to figure out exactly what you have to do to complete this task. The bounty just says to complete the “By Your Bootstraps” Gambit triumph, but if you don’t know where to find that in the triumph menu, it makes for a confusing starting point on this quest.

Save yourself the time by reading our handy guide to learn everything about 21% Delirium, including how to get it. (Sidenote: Only players who picked up the pursuit last season can complete the quest to claim 21% Delirium.)

21% Delirium is one of three pinnacle weapons that were released when Season of the Drifter began.Bungie

21% Delirium is the Season 6 Gambit pinnacle weapon given out by the Drifter to anyone who completes the quest. A legendary machine gun that takes up the power weapon slot, 21% Delirium is a rapid-fire machine gun with the fastest time-to-kill of any machine gun right now thanks to a rate of fire that’s at least double that of any other — and it has a staggering magazine size of 132 rounds. Its design is more or less identical to Hammerhead, a machine gun crafted by SUROS, so the going assumption is that 21% Delirium is a Hammerhead that’s been heavily modified by the Drifter.

The unique exotic-lite perk is Killing Tally: Kills increase damage until the weapon is stowed or reloaded. But it also has Overflow as an additional perk, so whenever the player picks up energy or power ammunition, it reloads the weapon to beyond normal capacity. If a player specs their armor to increase drops for these ammo types, they can march into a huge group of enemies and just spam fire the 21% Delirium from the hip at close range with no real issues.

Similar to how the Ace of Spades was Cayde’s personal weapon, it seems like 21% Delirium is the Drifer’s weapon of choice.Bungie

Here’s every step in the quest for 21% Delirium:

Step 1

Acquire “By Your Bootstraps” from the Drifter during Season 6

The easy part is picking up this pursuit from the Drifter over in the Annex, but it’s become impossible to do now that Season of the Drifter has ended. You have to already have the pursuit in order to accomplish it, and as far as we know, there’ll never be another chance to get it.

Step 2

Complete the “Notorious Hustle” Triumph in Gambit

In any Gambit activity, earn multikills of 5 or more, defeat Primeval envoys, and reset your Infamy rank.

  • Multikills (75)
  • Envoys and Primevals defeated (350)
  • Infamy rank reset

The hardest part of completing this quest is knowing how and where to find “Notorious Hustle” in the Triumphs tab under Gambit > Lifetime > Career. That’s where you can track your progress.

No part of the actual quest is all that difficult. A multikill of 5 or more means you have to kill that many enemies very quickly, easily achievable by targeting groups of enemies with supers, grenades, and rocket launchers.

Defeating Primevals and their Envoys will happen naturally as part of the Gambit experience, whether it’s Gambit or Gambit Prime. Players trying to get the 21% Delirium should focus all of their energy on killing Primeval Envoys when they spawn. Primevals are worth more points for this task, so you could make the argument that winning at Gambit matches will naturally get you where you need to go.

An Infamy rank reset presents the greatest challenge for acquiring the 21% Delirium. For some reason, Infamy rank works differently than Valor or Glory ranking in the Crucible. To achieve an Infamy reset, players have to reach 15,000 Infamy points. Players have estimated this takes around 100 wins in Gambit matches, with variation depending on win streaks and bounties.

Just like in the Crucible, players can go on a win streak in Gambit to earn more and more Infamy points. With a five win streak, players earn 250 points per win. Up to 12,000 (the Legend rank), both wins and losses contribute to Infamy, but once you reach Legend, the only way to gain points is by winning or cashing in bounties.

The language of the Triumph does mean that Gambit and Gambit Prime both qualify, so someone with a full set of Gambit Prime armor might as well take advantage of those perks in that game mode to earn their Infamy faster. (Gambit Prime matches go much quicker than regular Gambit.)

Here are some additional tips that will help with this pursuit:

  • Always focus on Gambit bounties of any kind. Especially once you’ve reached 12,000 in Infamy and hit Legend, turning in completed bounties will become the most reliable way to earn more Infamy. But completing bounties and doing a mix of Gambit and Gambit Prime will only accelerate your Infamy even if it’s low.
  • Focus on Reaper or Sentry as a role in Gambit Prime — While Collectors bank motes and Invaders attack the enemy team in Gambit Prime, the Reaper slays enemies and the Sentry defends against Taken. These two roles are much more likely to get multikills and have benefits for doing so. For the first step in this challenge, dabble in some Reckoning to build up your armor in one or both of these roles. (Read a Gambit Prime guide here.)
  • Use Wavesplitter or Telesto against Primeval Envoys — Void damage helps take down Primeval Envoy shields at an accelerated rate, and exotic weapons like Wavesplitter or Telesto are the best options for killing them.
  • Winning Gambit or Gambit Prime should be your focus. — The players wracking up multikills and slaying Envoys and Primevals ASAP are the ones who win at Gambit and Gambit Prime, so they’re therefore going to rank up their Infamy fastest. As such, the best way to grind away at this quest is to get good at Gambit.

0.6. «Rave».

0.6.1. Part Ι. “Delirium. Synthesis of everything and assorted.

0.6.1.1.

A green leaf fell to the ground slowly,

All his lads fell after him.

— Well, why did you turn away from the branch,

You wanted freedom, well, what did you run into?

You are lying, rotting in the swamp, you are no longer alive.

And the wind at work carries you from the swamp.

You have already turned yellow, and soon you will become rusty

And you will wallow by the ditch until spring.

0.6.1.2.

The rose stands and withers, offers its flower,

She has withered, but does not know it.

– I don’t need you anymore, your buds are hanging

And your pink flower has withered too much,

And you don’t inspire me at all anymore,

All just because you will soon die.

The deadline is coming to you and, strange as it may seem, —

You think that the time will not come to you,

But life is not a moment, and I’m not annoyed,

But your sluggish flower, I still won’t pick.

And your root rots and no longer nourishes,

And your stalk sagged to the ground.

And believe me, no one knows at all,

That you were here, that you will soon die.

And the birds in the sky are flying right above you

And shitting on you from a great height,

And no one will ever know about you,

And no one will see that former beauty.

And I, as an egoist, don’t forget you,

But still I won’t tell you about you at all.

Even though I have what is called a snapshot,

But, to spite it, someday I will tear it.

To spite, but not to you, well, but to myself, to spite,

So that the memory of you is stronger in me erased.

And it’s better to forget you forever

And burn your «eternal» picture, loving you in the soul.

I’ll burn it so that you don’t stand in this picture,

To never see magical beauty again.

After all, what is irretrievably gone forever —

It may be worth forgetting. Or maybe not a fig?

Either the sun is very warm, or the rain is pouring heavily,

Therefore, a green blade of grass grows.

But a stink bug crawls right along the path,

He cuts a blade of grass — there is no blade of grass here.

He drags her into a bed to devour her in winter,

And she doesn’t feel like dying like that.

0.6.1.3.

The fishing net on the sea broke

From the places where it always dangled there.

She suddenly swam, she came to life

And she did not go to the bottom with rapid force.

She swam — buried with floats

And the load did not hold her to the bottom «with her feet»,

He helped her — like an engine he worked

And she developed speed to the fullest.

With such an unexpected, quick gait,

The whole thing was full of fish right up to the “throat”.

She felt suddenly heavy from the fish,

She swam to the sea crossing.

I found someone and turned to him:

“Man, help me, I’m sick of living,

Burn me “what the hell” — both threads and loads,

My floats, that’s all my “gateways”.

For this you will collect fish from me,

You will have enough for your big cart.

Take off the fish and throw me into the fire,

Pour on gasoline, at least five «kil»,

I just don’t like being like this —

Leaky and useful, but only for downtime.

I don’t like being myself all the time,

And also any other bullshit.

The guy is crazy. Well, who doesn’t?

Not every day, a freebie happens.

That the net is bazaar with people’s rumors, —

He did not notice, — after all, he was from drinking,

He took the fish and went home,

And he threw the net, — scored on it.

Then the network got so angry because of life, —

Rushed after him, — started straight after him.

I couldn’t fly, but I didn’t understand.

How quickly I took off and caught up with the cart.

— «The end» of you, «bitch», — shouts to the peasant. –

You fucking regret this bullshit.

You left me to die, that is, to live,

And I did not want to seethe space,

But then I accidentally learned to fly,

When a “bad ace” followed you, I set off.

Now, what — will you command to fly across the sky,

“Wind” all birds, cranes and ducks?…

Why the hell would I do this anyway?

It would be better if I learned to fall in love.

The man went nuts a hundredfold,

Even though he was drunk, like a gray gelding.

— You, bitch, what are you looking at, «the end» will come to you

And no one will wake you up at night,

After all, it won’t wake you up at night,

I will strangle you, now it will be. –

She bent down and began to curl,

Spin around the man in circles,

Show off loads in the face, in the balls …

The man dreamed: «Where would I go?»

This made him sober half the time:

– Well, what do you need? Fly, «damn» at the «peeps».

She wanted to strangle him,

Beat, kick and swear,

Twist him, tie him up, wrap him up,

Then, — just «what the hell» — send him to the grave.

But then — her program jumped,

And all the floats swelled like lard,

All loads began to tremble in chorus

And the holes from the threads stink like a «star»:

— Well, okay, you little bitch, I forgive you, «bitch»,

So that you can eat all the fish and pike.

But only you “finish” me first,

So that I pour all over your cart,

You love holes in all of me, “look”,

Otherwise I’ll strangle in minutes, so, in five.

The man was confused, slightly hangover

And his mind finally returned.

And quickly thought that there was only one choice

And the fact that it’s simple — a concrete cretin,

About the fact that he entered in kind in the mud,

After all, he is afraid to die and is destined to live.

The wino thought, and then agreed

And immediately he started having sex with the net,

Faster, so that he could fall in love with her as soon as possible,

To run away from her by the deadline.

He fell in love with a hole — she was drenched,

And this was just the beginning,

All the threads were cracking, all the threads were sweating,

But how much lawlessness can one have.

He fell in love with 10, he fell in love with 100,

And completely collapsed without strength and without words.

— Let’s get up. Are you nuts?

200 more holes. “But he failed.

Here the network didn’t “fake”, what a joke

And then I thought: “What kind of rakol?”.

But right away she didn’t notice the topic –

That she became the drunk queen,

That sex and orgasm aroused her so much,

That he turned her into a woman – a whore.

And then she thought, quickly, became:

“This is nonsense. This is what got it.»

Then a little voice came from the program:

“You fuck now, at least once.”

She instinctively began to raise her penis

And for a long time she sucked him like that.

And then, finally, the end rose,

The man went nuts: “So who did I fall in love with?”

He saw a naked woman: «Cool!»

And immediately “fucked” her for more than a minute.

He «packed» her for an hour that evening,

His heart was already leaking.

Here we finished together. He passed out again,

Thinking, “Why am I so drunk?

Why did I drink — and my mind was confused,

Where is the dream, and where is the reality, and — where did I roll?

In the morning, waking up, but not having a hangover,

He looks and sees that someone is cubing.

Then the woman looked brightly with her eyes

And suddenly for some reason, for some reason she burst into tears.

The man, having gone crazy over and over again

He couldn’t think anymore, he became like a wire.

He ran this larva «to fall in love» again,

He got sick of water and karma.

Before he didn’t think that it was possible to get drunk

Just fall in love all day long.

He threw away the vodka, put the bed in:

– I will make you fall in love here all the time.

— Love every day, every hour, every evening,

I will be yours only as long as I blow.

When I get old — and there will be no sex,

I will swell together with you, so it will be.

— Are you a soothsayer or what?

And how did you drag me out of the field?

— Yes — no, just «what the hell» fell in love with you

And I will always be with you in strength.

– Yes, great, cool, and I won’t drink, –

Now I’ll forget about vodka and beer.

I will always «fall in love» with you — constantly,

Delusions of persecution, its symptoms and treatment

Delirium of persecution, what is it? It is quite difficult for a simple person to explain this from a medical point of view. In this article we will try to deal with this concept, the causes of its appearance, symptoms and treatment of this disease.

What is delusions of persecution?

So, first we will try to understand this concept in simple words. Delusion of persecution is a mental disorder characterized by constant thoughts of persecution, surveillance, which can harm the life and health of a patient. The patient may talk about being constantly pursued by some creatures or a group of people. These creatures are often fictional, but sometimes it seems to a person that he is being pursued by very real people: relatives, friends, relatives.

Professionals also refer to persecutory delusions as persecutory delusions. In the people, this disease was called «persecution mania», although this disorder does not apply to manic diseases. Persecutory delusional syndromes include suspicion, anxiety, isolation, jealousy, life-threatening thoughts, psychosis, insomnia, and other symptoms.

Causes of delusional persecution disease

The causes of delusions of persecution are a predisposition to this kind of disease. It is also possible to develop this disease with:

  • disorders of the central nervous system;
  • psychological traumas such as social problems, negative family environment, violence;
  • constant stress;
  • alcohol or drug poisoning;
  • diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury, tumors.

Disease pathogenesis

The formation of the disease is preceded by a delusional mood — anxiety, suspicion, a sense of constant threat. With the development of hallucinations, affective disorders, the pathogenesis of delusions of persecution is different. The perception of what is happening is disturbed: the patient feels touches or voices from creatures unknown and invisible to other people. The origin of these phenomena is not clear to him, and this causes a growing sense of anxiety.


Delirium — a way to find an explanation for what is happening. The person does not feel relief, impulsive, although the strength may be running out.


Symptoms or how the disease manifests itself

The symptoms of delusions of persecution are mainly external factors. A person suffering from this mental illness is constantly afraid of persecution and worries about it. Its main manifestations are the conviction of a person that someone wants to harm him. If these are elderly people, as a rule, they are afraid of the persecution of loved ones — spouses, children, grandchildren. Schizophrenic or alcoholic paranoia is accompanied by thoughts of persecution by the government, secret services, demons, werewolves. In patients, behavior changes, both in behavior and in emotions. A person becomes distrustful, withdrawn, seeks to isolate.

With persecutory delirium, a person feels that he has been harmed, offended, that he suffers from others, that someone is constantly chasing him. It seems to patients that they are constantly under someone’s attention. Often, along with delirium, the patient experiences anxiety, fear, panic attacks, and loses the possibility of critical thinking. The patient becomes selective, concentrates on details, perceives any events differently. The progression of the disease increases the number of pursuers. The later stages of delirium make enemies of almost everyone around. Patients stop communicating even with relatives, they do not let anyone in. Often they turn to various bodies with complaints and statements.

Also, one of the symptoms and signs of delusions of persecution is insomnia, distrust not only of strangers, but also of those closest to you, constant isolation, immersion in your thoughts with a complete disconnection from reality, irritability and attacks of aggression.

Symptoms of persecutory delusions have 3 stages of development:

  • First stage. The easiest stage, at which there is constant anxiety, fear, as well as some signs of social phobia
  • The second stage. Characterized by antisocial behavior, difficulty communicating with loved ones. A person with an average stage of persecutory delusions easily loses his balance, becomes extremely suspicious, constantly fears for himself and his property
  • Third stage. At this stage, a person has a depressive disorder, the condition of a person as a whole worsens. This is the most dangerous stage, because, being under the influence of hallucinations, a person can harm himself and others. This can be both suicide attempts and harming others for trying to harm a person with this disease.
  • Classification of persecutory delusions

    Delusions of persecution are of two types: primary and secondary. Primary delirium is the stage that is expressed by anxiety. The secondary is already expressed by hallucinations. They also distinguish types of delusions by gender, by reason of occurrence and by type of manifestation.

    Delusions of persecution in women are mainly associated with hormones. It can be anything from a teenage hormone surge to pregnancy. Doctors note a significant manifestation of pathology during stressful situations. Often, this pathology in women is projected onto all family members. The constant feeling of surveillance provokes hysteria in women. With an increase in pathology, an increase in temperature is observed and an increase in heart rate is possible.

    Delusions of persecution in men manifest themselves in the form of deep depression. Also, the male population is more likely to experience attacks of aggression. Feeling persecuted on an ongoing basis leads to suicidal thoughts and suicide in particular.

    There are also other types of delusions, for example, alcoholic delusions of persecution. This type of delusion of persecution is most often expressed in auditory hallucinations. These hallucinations are heard by the patient in the form of voices that talk about the patient in a rather dramatic way. Most often they communicate with each other, talking about the patient in the third person. Alcoholic delirium manifests itself suddenly. According to the course of the disease, two forms are distinguished: acute and subacute. In the subacute form of delirium, no oddities in the patient’s behavior are noticed, there are no signs of alcoholism and hallucinations, while in the acute form alcoholism plays an important role in the development of the disease. The patient has gross trembling and gastric phenomena. The voices in the patient’s head often turn to him with abuse. With a slow course of the disease, patients do not pay attention to delusional thoughts and can easily be in society. In a more acute course, the patient is so much immersed in himself and anxiety about the future that he can also calmly be in society without contact with people.

    Delusions of persecution in drug addicts practically do not differ from those of alcohol. The patient, against the background of the use of psychotropic drugs, begins to show schizoid signs, a persecution mania appears, a fear of leaving the house, and every suitable person becomes an enemy. There are also frequent cases of auditory and visual hallucinations.

    Another type — delusions of persecution in schizophrenia is considered the most common type of delusion. The only thing that betrays him is the formation of a new “I”, different from the essence of a person, as well as the obsession of various ideas, depending on the type of disease. In particular, the symptoms of persecutory delusions are complicated and expanded due to various reactions to ridicule, bullying, and more.

    Delusion of persecution by type of manifestation:

    1. Delusion of damage
      Manifested by the patient’s constant thoughts that someone or something wants to harm or steal his property.
    2. Delusion of poisoning
      The patient thinks that the pursuers are poisoning food and water.
    3. Delusion of relationship
      People and objects surrounding the patient acquire a special meaning for him. Voices in his head begin to condemn the plan to harm the patient or treat him badly.
    4. Delusions of influence
      The patient assumes that something affects his psychological or physical state with the help of rays, waves, or hypnosis.
    5. Delirium of querulism
      The patient thinks that people around him infringe his rights in every possible way. He has a craving for lawsuits, the struggle for justice.
    6. Delusions of jealousy
      Ideas about betrayal or betrayal by a partner arise.
    7. Staging nonsense
      The patient is sure that everything that happens around him is part of the performance, and everyone around him is actors.
    8. Delirium of possession
      A person believes that something otherworldly has moved into his body, but his thoughts remain unchanged.
    9. Delusion of the double
      There are two varieties of this delusion: positive and negative. With a positive form of double delirium, a person believes that all people unfamiliar to him are close or relatives. With a negative process, the process is reversed: people familiar to a person seem to be strangers to him.
    10. Delusion of metamorphosis
      The patient believes that he has been reborn into some object or the like. With this form of delirium, the patient is haunted by involuntary transformations without his knowledge.
    11. Delusions of accusation
      It seems to the patient that all people accuse him of some misconduct.

    Complications of delusions of persecution

    The consequences of this disease can both shake the psyche of a person and bring him to suicide.


    With a long-term development of the disease without drug treatment, patients lose the ability to correctly perceive reality, soberly assess existing objects, people and phenomena.


    Everything that surrounds a person seems threatening or dangerous to him. Patients try in every possible way to protect themselves from the outside world, since for them it is dangerous. Such people do not have contact with people, may not go out for a long time, refuse to eat, suffer from insomnia and often experience panic. In a state of passion, they can be very aggressive and harm both themselves and others. In this case, hospitalization and strict supervision in a medical institution are necessary.

    When to see a doctor?

    Relatives and friends of the patient should consult a doctor at the moment when a person has been showing signs of manic behavior for more than 2 weeks. He starts talking about conspiracies, suspecting close people, does not open the door for anyone, locks himself with keys, speaks in a whisper. Such behavior does not develop immediately, but incrementally. It is difficult to see such behavior and recognize it to the untrained eye. Do not sound the alarm when a person gives the first signs of mania. Perhaps in his life there was stress or some kind of negative event that left its mark.


    However, if this behavior persists for a long time, a visit to a doctor for diagnosis and further treatment is mandatory.


    Diagnosis

    When identifying symptoms of delirium, the doctor must first determine the stage. There are several ways to diagnose delusions of persecution:

    • A CT scan of the brain and skull allows doctors to identify tumors, injuries, or strokes that have caused delirium.
    • MRI scan of the brain, skull bones and tissues of adjacent tissues to detect pathologies.
    • EEG of the brain — allows you to identify foci of excitation of the disease.

    The diagnosis of persecution mania is established by a psychiatrist. First, a conversation is held with the patient and the person accompanying him. Basically, the doctor talks with the accompanying person, since the patient cannot describe his condition. A conversation is an initial examination, during which the doctor reveals a genetic predisposition to this kind of disease, reveals information about alcohol or drug addiction, as well as about the possible causes of real persecution.

    Next, the doctor monitors the behavior of the patient. Often patients are very alert and worried about every rustle or footsteps outside the door. The patient may suspect the doctor of collusion with other persons pursuing him. And the final stage of the initial examination is various psychological tests: at this stage, the doctor uses complex questionnaires, drawing and interpretation tests. Also, the doctor reveals any paranoid traits, impaired thinking and perception of reality.

    Treatment

    Delusions of persecution are treated as part of the treatment of paranoid schizophrenia, alcoholic or drug psychosis, and delusional disorder. A set of procedures is prescribed individually, but there are certain stages of treatment. The first stage of treatment is the use of medications, often neuroleptics. With depression, panic attacks, the doctor prescribes antidepressants.

    The next stage is a psychotherapy session, which uses a cognitive-behavioral method of treatment. One of them is metacognitive training, which allows the patient to see their thoughts, explore their patterns and learn to control their thinking, as well as correct their behavior. And the last of the possible stages is family counseling and rehabilitation. The doctor informs the patient’s relatives about his condition and about the features of delirium.


    It is important at this stage that relatives do not deny the existence of this disease in the patient, but also do not contribute to the consolidation of thoughts that everything that happens is a reality.
