Delusion of grandiosity

::

Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal1989

Prof. Bhiman was talking about the delusion of grandiosity where a patient has an exaggerated, enhanced self image. To make the things easier, he cited an example: "A person with the delusion of grandiosity would go to market, let's say to buy a ball..."

"He would instead land up buying several such balls in a grandiose manner."

Can the class add any such example of grandiosity?

" Yeah, the patient goes to buy a table tennis ball, and returns with a basket ball", quipped, a student.

The class continued to laugh as Prof. Bhiman added the last punch:" It's nice to hear someone sharing a personal experience!"
