Some of those things on the list are very very rare cases but I just wanted to cover everything (or almost everything).

Brain Tumors

Head injury

Stress

Delirium tremens

Dementia and drug use cause paranoia. That is very common. Some of other things that can include delusions and/or hallucination can be:

PTSD

Why do some people refuse to explain their actions or behavior when asked? Why do they claim to not know the reason instead of providing an explanation?

Mental disorder

Sleep disorders

Pharmaceutical drug (abuse or side effects)

Alcohol

Should any books be banned from school libraries? Why is it important for students to read certain books in school?
