 A widespread critique of the DSM definition is that not enough weight is given to the consequences of having the delusion for our wellbeing. Some other definitions of delusion make explicit reference to “disrupted functioning” (e.g., McKay et al. 2005a, p. 315). Freeman 2008 (pp. 24–26) highlights the multi-dimensional nature of delusions and lists among the main characteristics of delusions not just that delusions are unfounded, firmly held, and resistant to change, but also that they are preoccupying and distressing, and that they interfere with the social dimension of our lives.
