What is the treatment for delusion?

Patient's question:

Before that, I once experienced a great shock. After that, my emotions have been very unstable, and I even have delusions, always imagining impossible things. Everyone thinks I'm crazy, and I'm also very troubled. But I can't control this either. What should I do? How should I be treated?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of delusion primarily relies on medication, but different types of obsessive delusions require different treatment methods. Antipsychotic drugs are one of the essential medications. It is necessary to establish a good therapeutic relationship and bring about changes in certain behaviors by providing encouragement to the patient. Additionally, patients should avoid excessive tension, as excessive tension often affects the intensity of illusions under stressful conditions. Appropriate recovery skills or cognitive-behavioral therapies can help reduce individuals' inappropriate responses to stress.
