This is kind if a serious question.
I was listening to "This American Life" podcast this week and there was a section on delusional disorder. It's actually a very cool segment. They talked about this amazing case, about a guy who got others to attempt to rob banks, claiming it was actually part of a CIA program designed to test bank security. The authorities concluded the mastermind, actually believed he was CIA... and he was never really charged.
It's a much different mental issue then say schizophrenia, where the delusions are obvious. Delusional disorder actually are somewhat plausible, at least on the surface. The guy who thought he was CIA, genuinely confused local authorities......
Anyway, take a listen to the podcast. Really rang true for me.
