Reality Distortion
Dimension 523 of 1,100 · Health Lens
Reality Distortion measures disruption in the sense that experiences, perceptions, memories, or beliefs are real, believable, and accurately connected to external events. It encompasses estrangement from reality, altered perceptual certainty, and endorsement of experiences that seem implausible or difficult to verify.
Minimal Reality Distortion
Expressions activating this band show ordinary engagement with everyday situations, practical choices, and interpersonal awareness, with reality testing remaining intact and no clear indication that experience feels unreal, strange, or implausible.
Mild Reality Distortion
Expressions activating this band describe unusual or intrusive experiences that are noticed as strange, hard to believe, or tied to a past event, while still retaining some recognition that these experiences may be atypical or mentally generated.
Moderate Reality Distortion
Expressions activating this band convey a more direct weakening of reality anchoring, such as feeling that events were not real, that perception differed from how things actually looked, or that strange experiences meaningfully affect daily life.
High Reality Distortion
Expressions activating this band center on experiences or claims that defy ordinary verification and are marked by unreality, magical quality, or doubtful believability, indicating substantial disruption in judging what is real.
Severe Reality Distortion
Expressions activating this band present reality as fabricated, simulated, fictional, or only supposedly true, with profound uncertainty or alteration in the status of what is genuinely occurring.
