> Normal people my claim that this "feeds" into their delusions. But at least it works in the short term to reduce the paranoia. This is a good insight for anyone who works or deals with folks that aren't fully moored in their reality by their five senses! I've used the buy-in / reduce anxiety approach in a lot of contexts, be it toddlers to dementia to mentally ill family members to addicts to others with unspecified issues. Correct me if I'm wrong -- I don't think you're suggesting doing this indefinitely, which isn't sustainable IMHO, but in terms of reducing acute episodes.
