Problem:
"Ed satisfies criterion 1 for Delusional Disorder (F22.0). He has been showing blatant signs of non-bizarre delusions, which are false beliefs about events that could happen, like being hated, being mistaken for someone else, and other extraordinary but psychologically plausible occurrences. He has also been claiming to hear a voice identified as 2-Z telling him to harm others." You later said, when discussing differential diagnoses, "Differential diagnoses for Ed included alcohol intoxication and dependence, drug intoxication, and drug-induced psychosis. Because there was no evidence of alcohol usage in the text, alcohol intoxication, and dependence were ruled out. Because the specific substance was not mentioned in the text, substance intoxication, and substance-induced psychotic disorder were ruled out."
Other people diagnosed Ed with disorders including antisocial personality disorder and malingering? What were your thoughts when thinking about those diagnoses and why should you consider them?
