Paranoid Personality Disorder

Paranoid Personality Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by pervasive distrust and suspicion of others. Individuals with this disorder often believe people are intentionally trying to deceive, harm, or exploit them, even without any real evidence. This constant suspicion can lead to difficulty forming close relationships and may cause them to be excessively guarded, touchy, or jealous. Their mistrust is persistent and affecting their daily life, often causing significant distress or impairment. It's important to recognize that this disorder involves longstanding patterns of mistrust, not occasional doubts or suspicion.
