Name

Cassius Clay officially changed his name to Muhammad Ali on March 6, 1964, after winning the world heavyweight championship and converting to Islam. He had previously used the name Cassius X after briefly leaving his birth name, but the name Muhammad Ali was given to him by Elijah Muhammad, the leader of the Nation of Islam. [1, 2, 3, 4]  

Here's a more detailed timeline of the name change: 

• 1960s: Cassius Clay joined the Nation of Islam in the early 1960s. [2]  

• Pre-March 1964: After growing close to Malcolm X, Clay announced he was changing his name to Cassius X, a slave name. [3, 4]  

• March 6, 1964: Following his major upset victory over Sonny Liston, the boxer publicly announced he had changed his name to Muhammad Ali. [1, 2]  

• Later: Although the public change happened in 1964, some government documents and records continued to refer to him as Cassius Clay for years after the name change. [1, 5]

Lying: A person who is consciously and intentionally deceiving others is lying, not experiencing a delusion. A person with a delusion genuinely believes their false convictions.

 Denying one's own identity, such as a politician claiming not to be a politician, is a type of delusion. This is a symptom of psychosis and is not a distinct form of psychosis itself. A delusion is a fixed, false belief that is resistant to evidence or proof to the contrary. 

In this scenario, the specific type of delusion could be classified in different ways depending on the underlying cause. 

Types of delusions

Delusional disorder: A person experiences non-bizarre delusions—beliefs about situations that could happen in real life but are untrue. While they function relatively normally, their belief is unshakable and could impact their job and social life.

This is often called a "delusional disorder, grandiose type" if the person holds an overinflated sense of self-worth or an "identity" that lacks evidence.

Schizophrenia: This condition involves bizarre delusions, where the beliefs are fantastic or impossible, along with other symptoms like hallucinations or disorganized speech.

• Other conditions: Delusions can also be a symptom of substance-induced psychosis, severe depression, or bipolar disorder. 

Distinguishing a delusion from other conditions

For a clinician to diagnose a delusional disorder, they must differentiate the false belief from other possibilities: 

• Normal beliefs: A belief that is widely accepted by one's culture or religion is not considered a delusion.
• Overvalued ideas: These are highly cherished beliefs, but the person has some doubt as to their truth. Unlike with a delusion, they are not completely convinced.
• Lying: A person who is consciously and intentionally deceiving others is lying, not experiencing a delusion. A person with a delusion genuinely believes their false convictions.
