description: "Delusional memory is a memory that is false or fantastically distorted, but held with firm and irrefutable conviction despite evidence to the contrary. It is often seen in psychiatric conditions such as delusional disorders, schizophrenia, and sometimes in severe mood disorders. These memories can be completely fabricated or have a basis in an actual event that has been grossly misinterpreted or altered by the individual's mind."
