Delusions of mind reading are when somebody thinks that people can read their minds. These are distinct from delusions of thought broadcasting, endorsed by Joy, which are the belief that one’s thoughts are being broadcast aloud, such as how Joy thought that the elderly lady at the grocery store could hear her thoughts because they were being broadcast aloud. Joy also experienced delusions of thought insertion. These are the belief that another person is literally placing thoughts into one’s mind. In Joy’s case, she thought that the elderly lady at the grocery store was trying to place thoughts into her mind to grab a child who was playing nearby with her mother. Delusions of thought withdrawal are the belief that people are able to remove thoughts from a person’s mind. Delusions of being controlled involve the actual belief that another being, human or otherwise, has gained control of their thoughts and/or actions. Individuals with delusions of control feel that the only reason they are acting the way they are acting is because of the outside agent having commandeered their body and/or mind.

Delusions of thought possession a number of delusional experiences are recognised in which the patient may lose the conviction that their thoughts are private experiences under their own control. These are highly suggestive of schizophrenia and include: Thought insertion: the patient believes that some of their thoughts have been put into their mind from outside.Thought withdrawal: the patient believes that some of their thoughts have been removed from their mind; this may be evident objectively by a sudden cessation in the flow of speech that is known as thought blocking (see above).Thought broadcasting: this is the belief that thoughts, although unspoken, may become known to other people by various means, such as them directly hearing the thoughts; this must be distinguished from the common feeling that others can infer thoughts from a person’s actions. ‘Do you have difficulty thinking clearly?’ … ‘Have you had the feeling that perhaps your thoughts were not your own?’

According to the content of each item, the 12 items were further classified into 7 categories of psychotic symptoms: perplexity and delusional mood (Item-1,5); First rank symptoms (Item-3,6,11); Overvalued beliefs (Item-2,4); Suspiciousness/persecutory ideas (Item-7), Grandiose ideas (Item 8), Perceptual abnormalities (Item-9,10), and Disorganized communication (Item-12). In the current study, first rank symptoms refer to the symptoms of thought broadcasting, thought withdrawal, and audible thoughts. The threshold of one or more “yes” items was an endorsement to categorize the participant as positive.
