Delusionlighting

A form of Digitallighting that uses accusations of delusion, mental illness, or irrationality to systematically undermine the target’s sense of reality. The perpetrator repeatedly tells the target that they are “crazy,” “schizophrenic,” “not thinking clearly,” or “seeing things that aren’t there,” often in public threads. Over time, the constant gaslighting erodes the target’s confidence in their own perceptions, making them question whether their experiences are real. Delusionlighting weaponizes mental‑health stigma to isolate and destabilize.

Example: “Every time she posted about her experiences, he commented ‘you’re delusional, get help.’ After months, she started doubting her own memories—delusionlighting, turning her own mind into a battleground.”
