Definition

A delusion involving exaggerated or inappropriate responsibility, need for punishment or retribution, or disproportionate consequences of one’s actions, such as that a minor error in the past will lead to disaster, that the person has committed a sin or horrible crime and should be punished severely, or that the person is responsible for a horrible outcome with which there can be no possible connection.
