Answer 1

The correct answer is:

Delusional disorder

Step-by-step explanation:

Delusional or paranoid disorder is a medical condition in which the patient has some beliefs based in an illusion or an idea that is not part of the real world. This kind of mental illness can cause a confusion of the chain of events in which the person cannot distinguish exactly what is real from what is not. In some cases, the perceptions of reality may be combined with imaginary events or it may also be that the events are exaggerated by the person's mind.
