Abstract
Dissenting and contrary perspectives are part of the rich tapestry of life within a free society, though certain beliefs hold greater verisimilitude than others. Differentiation between normative and delusional beliefs is a core requirement of psychiatric assessment. Whilst always a complex and nuanced task, I submit that misinformation and conspiracy theories pose a novel threat to basic psychiatric assumptions.
