There is a trick to questions like this. If you imagine that you alone are the only one living in reality, then you can make decisions on your own about what is real and what is fantasy.
But if you understand that reality is what all of us, including scientists, are interested in, the more interesting question is how scientists separate fact from fiction, and how the community of researchers, all over the world, can test their assumptions about reality.
"Beliefs" have to be oriented toward reality, not fantasy, or they are not worth much. We need to have reality checks on what we know and don't know, if we do want live with each other in the real world, and talk about things like health and disease objectively.
Have you studied the methods used in science or psychology or philosophy to verify claims about things that exist in reality and are not simply imagined?
There is a whole community of people working on questions like these, and some of them are actually very competent.
