It's not unusual for delusions to be mixed in with rational thinking and behavior. Sometimes delusions are limited to a certain topic or event. One's thinking can be partially delusional.
Is your son seeking help?
Love to you both,

Yes, He is in the hospital for physical rehabilitation related to a car accident. He is getting his meds every day. He doesn't think he has a problem or that his dilutional thoughts are dilutional. Unfortunately he isn't getting any cbt. This is the first time he has been diagnosed with bi polar disorder. This is the first time he is taking anti psychotic meds. In fact any meds. I just don't understand how he can't see something is off. Thank you for your response.
