PANANOIA
What is Paranoia?
Paranoia
involves feelings of persecution and an exaggerated sense of self-importance.
Paranoia occurs in many mental disorders and is rare as an isolated mental
illness. Since the delusions involve only one area, a person with paranoia can
usually work and function in everyday life, however, their lives may be limited
and isolated. There are different types of paranoia including conjugal
paranoia, erotomania, hypochondriacal paranoia, and different types of paranoid
disorders such as paranoid personality and paranoid schizophrenia.
Symptoms of Paranoia
Symptoms
of paranoia and paranoid disorders include intense and irrational mistrust or
suspicion, which can bring on sense of rage, hatred, and betrayal. Some people
suffering from paranoid personality may have a high capacity to annoy or enrage
others because of rigid and maladaptive behavior. Some identifiable beliefs and
actions of paranoid-related disorders include mistrust, taking offense easily,
difficulty with forgiveness, defensive attitude in response to imagined
criticism, preoccupation with hidden motives, fear of being deceived or taken
advantage of, inability to relax, argumentative, abrupt, stubborn, self-righteous,
and perfectionistic.
What Causes Paranoia?
The
cause of paranoia is a breakdown of various mental and emotional functions
involving reasoning and assigned meanings. The reasons for these breakdowns are
varied and uncertain. Some symptoms of paranoia may arise from repressed,
denied or projected feelings. Paranoid thoughts and feelings can become part of
a delusional system through an accident, a misunderstanding or minor injustice,
heightened intimacy, or increased responsibility.
Treatment of Paranoia
Treatment
of paranoia is usually via behavior therapy which is aimed at reducing
sensitivity to criticism and improving social skills. It can be difficult to
treat a person with paranoia as they may be irritable, emotionally guarded,
hostile, and unwilling; therefore, progress is slow. Therapy attempts to break
the cycle of suspicion and isolation by using relaxation and anxiety management
and by aiding the person to change certain behaviors.
