Abstract
The present paper examines the persistence of content of delusions in 48 patients diagnosed as either affective disorder or schizophrenia. These patients were attending psychiatric clinic at National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bangalore, India, between 1986 and 1988. The type and content of delusion was assessed in each patient at each psychotic episode. Persistence in delusional content was found in one-third of the patients. It is likely that cultural and psychological factors may be contributing to this complex phenomenon of delusional persistence.
