Video game dilusions

[Homicidalheathen]

Ever know anyone who thought the video game was somewhat real...that it contained secret messages...was part of an illuminati plot....or that it was teaching them to be a real soldier for the 'end times' (which is coming soon I guess....)?

I have. It seems to be more and more common.

Computer game delusions

S A Spence

Academic Department of Psychiatry, University of Sheffield, Longley Centre, Sheffield S5 7JT, UK Dr Forsyth and colleagues describe a patient with delusionalinvolvement in a computer game scenario (April 2001 JRSM, pp.184-185). Such cases may be understood within a broader context—thecontent of psychotic phenomenology incorporating elements ofthe patient's psychosocial environment, while the form of apsychotic symptom (e.g. ‘delusion’) represents anunderlying biological ‘signal’^1,2. In 1993 we reporteda patient with paranoid schizophrenia whose auditory hallucinationsderived from a computer game. These hallucinations underwent delusionalinterpretation, the patient believing that they ‘meant’ shewas homeless³. In that report we predicted that ‘similarcases will arise as video games become more widely accessible’³.

Every time I hear anyone mention illuminati, I want to stab my eardrums out.
