Abstract

Delusional disorder is a psychological illness of psychotic character that affects the individual mainly at the cognitive level where it can affect consciousness, attention and reasoning, since its main symptomatological characteristic is delusions, which can be presented in different types, among the most common the persecutory. It should be noted that there is no personological degradation in the sufferer, so it can carry out cognitive functions such as thinking, reasoning and behavior optimally, resulting in the difficulty to be diagnosed. The present research work aims to explain the origin of delusional disorder from the cognitive-behavioral approach, so it can be stated that such pathology has its origin in biased information processing systems and in distorted or biased thinking.
