TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 1 year agoA persecutory delusion is a type of delusional condition in which the affected person believes that harm is going to occur to oneself by a persecutor, despite a clear lack of evidence. The person may believe that they are being targeted by an individual or a group of people. Persecution delusions are very diverse in terms of content and vary from the possible, although improbable, to the completely bizarre. The delusion can be found in various disorders, being more usual in psychotic disorders.
Persecutory delusion is at the more severe side of the paranoia spectrum and it induces multiple complications, from anxiety to suicidal ideation. Persecutory delusion have a high percentage to be acted upon, such as not leaving the house due to fear or acting violently. The persecutory type is a common delusion and is more prevalent in males.
The causality of persecutory delusions are a combination of genetic (family history) and environmental (drug and alcohol use, emotional abuse) factors. This type of delusion is treatment-resistant. The most common methods of treatment are cognitive behavioral therapy, medications, namely first and second generation antipsychotics, and in severe cases, hospitalization. The diagnosis of the condition can be made using the DSM-5 or the ICD-11.

Here are some papers arguing that incels should be treated just like I have been. When you search “incels” on google scholar, you largely get articles like this calling on the government to treat incels as domestic terrorists by leftist academics/self-serving “security” researchers. Of course, when victim complains of the treatment, they can always be accused of having a “persecutory delusion.” But I ask any observers to note just how inconsiderate and unhinged these accusations of mental illness on are. Note their desperation to call me crazy. They’re feds privy to my digital activity. This is what I mean by “open air prison.”

Incels are extremists. Even if they aren’t violent, they inherently hold extreme beliefs
MrHand@lemmy.world 1 year ago
that’s just a whine. it means “i don’t like the incel perspective.” you are free to whine all you like but it’s not reasonable for your whine to be government policy

Not my fault you picked to identify with extremists. The government may log your activity, but nobody is assigned to the case
