Answer:

delusion

Explanation:

Helen is suffering from delusion:_

In mental health, and psychology a person can suffer where beliefs make someone worry about imaginary things that are illogical, absurd or simply lack evidence.

These delusions can cause paranoid and when the behaviour becomes frequent or impairing it can lead to psychotic disorder.

The classical example is when people can't tell what is real from what is only inside their heads.

A person often having delusions is most exemplified by schizophrenia, and in some instances, psychotic disorders appear for less than a month, and most people can recover or seek mental health professionals.

The criteria when doctors may consider a possible diagnosis for mental illness depends on the span of the delusions.

<em> A possible diagnosis of schizophrenia if Helen constantly feels that she is being prosecuted, or that people do things that go against her.</em>

She would most be adviced to seek help immediately at the nearest center of health.
