Paranoid Disorders
Paranoid disorders are mental health conditions characterized by intense and irrational distrust or suspicion of others. Individuals with these disorders often believe that others are plotting against them or trying to harm them, even without evidence. This pervasive mistrust can significantly impact relationships and daily functioning.
The most common type of paranoid disorder is Paranoid Personality Disorder, where individuals exhibit a long-standing pattern of distrust and suspicion. Another related condition is Paranoid Schizophrenia, which includes paranoid delusions as part of a broader set of symptoms. Treatment typically involves therapy and, in some cases, medication to help manage symptoms.
