Paranoid: When reality and fantasy merge

Paranoid is a term that describes a mental state characterized by fixed and carefully systematized delusions. People suffering from paranoia experience constant anxiety and a sense of danger that they perceive as reality.

There are many reasons that can lead to the development of paranoia. One of them is paranoid schizophrenia, which is characterized by the presence of delusions associated with persecution, changing thoughts, control over thoughts and the feeling of external influence. In addition, paranoia can be caused by manic-depressive psychosis, organic psychoses associated with alcoholism, paraphrenia and severe emotional shock.

People suffering from paranoia may experience various types of delusions. Some of them are convinced that someone is watching them, eavesdropping on them, or getting into their thoughts. Others are convinced that they are being persecuted by the government, police, intelligence agencies, or others. Some may also experience ideas of jealousy and betrayal, as well as strong displeasure with other people's treatment of them.

Additionally, the term "paranoid" is also used to describe individuals who have high self-esteem, increased sensitivity to others' negative attitudes toward them, and hostility. Such people may be overly suspicious and conflict-prone, and unable to accept criticism or negative comments.

Overall, paranoia can seriously affect the quality of life of people suffering from this mental disorder. It can lead to social isolation, anxiety, depression and other problems. Therefore, it is important to seek medical help if you suspect you are developing paranoia or any other mental illness. There are now many treatments available, including therapy, medications, and other methods that can help manage this condition.

Introduction

Paranoia is a mental disorder that manifests itself in a fixed system of delusions in a person. A person with this disorder believes that other people are stalking them or intending to harm them. Paranoia makes such people feel afraid, anxious, and suspicious. In some cases, paranoia may be caused by biological processes, such as changes in the structure of the brain.

Types of development of paranoia

There are several different types of development of paranoid states. One of them is paranoid personality disorder. People with this type of paranoia have their own system of delusions and perceptual distortions that interfere with their normal functioning in everyday life. This delusional system may include the belief that someone is stalking them or wants to harm them. They may also have increased levels of anger and hostility towards everyone and no one.

Another type of paranoia is paranoid schizophrenia. This is a more severe mental disorder with systemic delusions and hallucinations. With paranoia, hallucinations may include other people talking behind their back, scary noises, or animal noises. The delusional system of people with paranoid schizophrenia may include suggestions that someone needs to harm them in order to gain money, fame, or the pleasure of ruining their life.

The most common type of paranoia is believed to be associated with chronic stress, which can be caused by chronic illness or psychologically stressful situations. For example, paranoia can be caused by a lack of time for rest, too much work, or a rigid life schedule. However, there are other factors that can make paranoia worse, including the presence of other mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety, sleep disturbances, and alcohol or drug use. How to manage a mental disorder

If you notice signs of paranoia in yourself, it is recommended to seek help and advice from a psychotherapist. Treatment methods depend on the cause of the disorder.
