What Is Paranoia?
Paranoia is a mental health condition characterized by intense and irrational feelings of suspicion, distrust, and fear of persecution or harm from others.
People with paranoia may feel like they are being watched, followed, or targeted by others for no apparent reason, and may interpret ordinary events as evidence of a conspiracy or threat against them.
Paranoia can be a symptom of various mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression, or it can be triggered by drug use, alcohol withdrawal, or other factors.
If left untreated, paranoia can cause significant distress and impair a person’s ability to function in daily life.

Excessive distrust and suspicion of others, even friends and family members
Searching for hidden motives behind other people’s actions
Perceiving innocent remarks or events as threatening or meaningful
Heightened sensitivity to perceived threats or danger
Defensive or hostile reactions to perceived criticism or rejection
