Paranoid Psychogenic

Psychogenic paranoid is a mental disorder characterized by delusions of persecution. It occurs as a reaction to a stressful situation or traumatic events.

The main symptoms of psychogenic paranoid are:

1. Delusions of persecution are unfounded beliefs that someone wants to harm or is spying on the patient. The patient may suspect relatives, friends, colleagues, or government officials of persecution.

2. Suspiciousness is increased wariness and distrust of others.

3. Anxiety and fear for your safety. The patient may hide, change his place of residence, or avoid people.

4. Aggression - in response to imaginary persecution, the patient may show irritability, anger, and sometimes open aggression.

Psychogenic paranoid usually occurs in people with a tendency to increased suspicion and mistrust. A stressful situation enhances these traits and leads to the formation of delusions. Treatment includes psychotherapy and, if necessary, drug therapy with antipsychotics and anxiolytics. With timely treatment, the prognosis is favorable.
