Schizophrenia - delusions!!??

Other than the definition of delusion, what else do you think we need to know?
Is anyone bothering with the types of delusions?

Hey,

It has been a year since I've touched this stuff, but from memory, I think maybe just have an understanding of the types of delusions - Delusions of Grandeur, Thought Insertion etc, i think there are maybe 4-6 or something?

There just might come a question  where they'll give you a scenario and ask you to state what type of delusion the individual is suffering from. Nothing too deep, but need to know what each type is.

Good Luck!

I doubt they'll ask us to do anything more than just list a couple of the symptoms of schizophrenia, if you go by what the practice exams had.
But vaguely knowing the different types of delusions couldn't hurt :P

VCAA can be more mean than the practice exams lol - you saw that with the 15 mark Alzheimer's question last year I'm sure  ;)

Would definitely know the types of delusions Felicity - there's just 6 and they're not that hard to remember and understand.  :)
