** What is Paranoia?

-Paranoia  is a personality disorder characterized by a distrust of others and a constant suspicion that people around you have sinister motives.

** How to know if some1 suffers such a disease?

1-People with this disorder tend to have excessive trust in their own knowledge and abilities and usually avoid close relationships.

2-They search for hidden meanings in everything and read hostile intentions into the actions of others.  

3-They are quick to challenge the loyalties of friends and loved ones and often appear cold and distant.  

4-They usually shift blame to other people and tend to carry long grudges

**Treatment :-

-Treatment is difficult because people with this condition are often extremely suspicious of doctors. If accepted, medications and talk therapy can both be effective.

**Complications:-

•Extreme social isolation  
•Potential for violence  

hope it's useful
