The term ‘delulu’ has gained traction in pop culture, particularly among Gen Z, originating in the K-Pop movement to describe unrealistic beliefs about celebrity relationships.
While ‘delulu’ indicates a fan's unrealistic attachment to a celebrity, it's imperative to distinguish it from the real mental health term ‘delusional,’ which involves harmful, fixed beliefs.
The popularity of terms like ‘delulu’ reflects a broader trend of trivializing serious mental health diagnoses, potentially leading individuals to incorrectly identify themselves with psychiatric disorders.
Delusions are defined as false beliefs that significantly impair an individual's ability to function. It is crucial to correctly use mental health terminology to avoid confusion.
