Do racist just have delusional psychiatric disorders and are in need of mental health/psychiatric treatment?
If so how should it be administered?
A quote from the article attached from NIH to support my inquiry:
"Using the DSM's structure of diagnostic criteria for delusional disorder,4(p329) I suggest the following subtype:
Prejudice type: A delusion whose theme is that a group of individuals, who share a defining characteristic, in one's environment have a particular and unusual significance. These delusions are usually of a negative or pejorative nature, but also may be grandiose in content. When these delusions are extreme, the person may act out by attempting to harm, and even murder, members of the despised group(s)."
