A delusion is a fixed, irrational belief that one is convinced is true despite evidence to the contrary. In the case of people suffering with delusions of persecution, the fixed irrational belief is that others are plotting against and/or following them. Signs that someone may be struggling with a persecution delusion include increased isolation, paranoid behaviors, verbal statements that are either irrational or do not make sense, and an increase in angry outbursts.
