👉 In mathematics, a delusion is an erroneous belief or perception that contradicts reality. Delusions can be caused by various factors such as mental illness, cognitive impairment, and brain injury. They are often associated with specific symptoms, such as hallucinations, disorientation, or confusion. Understanding delusions requires a critical examination of the evidence presented to support them, and it is important to treat them with caution to prevent further damage to brain function.
