	Delusional disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Delusional disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis denoting a mental illness that involves holding one or more non-bizarre delusions in the absence of any other significant psychopathology (signs or symptoms of mental illness).
		A person with delusional disorder can be quite functional and does not tend to show any odd or bizarre behaviour except as a direct result of the delusional belief.
		It is worth noting that the term paranoia was previously used in psychiatry to denote what is now called 'delusional disorder'.
