question for people who know alot about or have studied psychology?

i had a question about delusions.

how come people who are schizophrenic have false beleifs that are considered delusions.

and then anxiety sufferes may conjur up a bizzare irrational thought and fear it but it isnt a "delusion". instead it is considered an irrational fear?

and then there other people who beleive bizzare things like, some people beleive that they have been abducted by aliens, or that aliens walk among us etc. but are just considered beleifs and not delusions?

can anybody tell me was differentiates the 3?
