I remember when I was in the psychiatric inpatient unit. I remember being quite delusional. I was in a very heightened psychological state of mind, which explains my delusional thinking. However, I wonder how and why it explains my delusional thinking? Just because my consciousness was "heightened" does not necessarily mean I was delusional. I remember telling my social worker about my delusions and he explained to me that I was "very emotional" and in a "heightened" state of mind. But that was all he said. If he had elaborated, maybe I would have agreed with him. But then again, we both did agree that my delusions were because of my "reading into" my experience at the psych ward too much. That's what we both concluded and agreed on.
