I should clarify what delusional means when I use it.

Suppose I were to claim that I am constantly surrounded by invisible
pink unicorns who tell me what to do and listen to what I say, and
sometime even speak to me (I might even say that the unicorns are in
control of everything, including life and death). I tell this to a
number of psychiatrists.  They will all conclude I am delusional, since
they cannot themselves find any scientific evidence that such creatures
exist, and yet I claim that they do.
