Delusions of persecution are the most common. People with these types of delusions usually feel that they're being plotted or discriminated against, spied on, threatened, attacked or deliberately victimized.
Delusions of reference are also relatively common. These types of schizophrenia symptoms are when an individual attaches special personal meaning to actions of others or to various objects and events when there is no information to confirm this experience. Frequently, individuals may feel that televisions are talking to them or people are sending thoughts to them.
Some of the other more common delusions include delusions of grandeur in which individuals believe they have enormously empowered characteristics (great inventor, movie star etc.) and delusions of control, in which they believe their feelings, thoughts, and actions are being controlled by other people.
