This video describes paranoid delusions, which are sometimes referred to as persecutory delusions. Paranoid delusions are a symptom of a few mental health disorders including schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. A delusion is a strongly held belief that is clearly false, but that is not the entirety of the definition. A number of people that do not have schizophrenia or another disorder with delusions, have strongly held beliefs that are false. In order for a strongly held belief to qualify as a delusion, it would also have to be not understandable in the context of one's educational, cultural, and social background.
