Paranoid Personality Disorder

When intense distrust and persistent suspicion of others without sufficient grounds predominate, it could be paranoid personality disorder. It is a lasting pattern in which the person interprets the intentions of others as malicious.

How it shows up:

  • Constant wariness toward family, friends, or coworkers
  • A tendency to hold grudges
  • Difficulty trusting and defensive reactions

When to seek help? If the distrust interferes with relationships, work, or the person's peace of mind.

Which specialist treats it? The psychiatrist evaluates paranoid personality disorder in adults, and the child psychiatrist when the traits appear at early stages. Talking with a professional allows for a better understanding of what is happening and for charting a path of support.
