What are false beliefs known as?

Depression
Delusions
Dependability
Dehydration

The correct answer is: Delusions

False beliefs are best described as delusions. Delusions are characterized by firmly held beliefs that are not based in reality, often occurring despite evidence to the contrary. They can be a symptom of various mental health disorders and can interfere with a person's ability to think clearly and perceive reality accurately. Understanding delusions is crucial for caregivers, as recognizing these beliefs can aid in providing appropriate support and care for individuals experiencing mental health challenges. The other options represent different concepts: depression relates to a mood disorder marked by persistent sadness; dependability refers to the reliability of a person; and dehydration involves a lack of sufficient water in the body, affecting physical health. Each of these terms has distinct meanings and implications that do not align with the definition of false beliefs.
