      Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of unwarranted distrust and suspicion of others that involves interpreting their motives as hostile or harmful.

      Because people with paranoid personality disorder suspect that others are planning to exploit, deceive, or harm them, they are always on the look-out for possible insults, slights, or threats.
      Doctors diagnose paranoid personality disorder based on specific symptoms, including distrust and suspicion in many aspects of life.
      No treatment is effective, but cognitive-behavioral therapy may be tried, and drugs may relieve some symptoms.

      Personality disorders are long-lasting, pervasive patterns of thinking, perceiving, reacting, and relating that cause the person significant distress and/or impair the person
