Yes, Delusions are common symptoms of all subtypes of schizophrenia. In most cases, the individual develops false beliefs that someone is out to harm or poison them. Delusions often result in spontaneous aggression or violence because the individual starts to act in self-defence to protect him/her against harm. Others may develop delusions of grandeur- some many believe that they can fly or will not be harmed by traffic when standing in the middle of the road. Delusions often lead these individuals to become paranoid and solitary. They become afraid and live a miserable life.
