Deficits in executive and memory processes in delusional disorder: a case-control study.

<h4>Objective</h4>Delusional disorder has been traditionally considered a psychotic syndrome that does not evolve to cognitive deterioration. However, to date, very little empirical research has been done to explore cognitive executive components and memory processes in Delusional Disord...
