not necessarily schizophrenia, but likely another psychotic disorder. possibly delusional disorder if no other symptoms are met. schizophrenia has several criteria that must be met beyond delusions

On one hand, schizophrenia is much more common than delusional disorder, on the other hand, schizophrenia is much less likely to go completely undiagnosed for so long. Either way, grandpa will have to see a proper Hutu psychiatrist to know for sure.

that we know of! the trouble with delusional disorder is that it by definition presents without many of the troublesome characteristics of schizophrenia. and delusions, by definition, persist in the face of evidence, so insight is generally lacking. in other words, we could hypothesize that most cases of delusional disorder are never reported!
