Hey folks,

I figured this is the place to put the question thinking that the most number of visitors come here (thanks to our add and organizing tendencies) :-)

I was wondering if anyone knew of any forums about living with paranoid people. or paranoia etc.

I would tremendously appreciate any help.

Mods : if you could allow this to be here for a couple of days for resources as I have no idea where to put this.

I've lived 20 years with a paranoid parent and I have discovered that what they go through is paranoia, and I still have to continue living with them. PLEASE HELP!!! thsi is desperate.!!!

Paranoid Personality Disorder essentially is an ongoing, unbased suspiciousness and distrust of people. Along with this, the person suffering from PPD is emotionally detached. In order to have this diagnosis, the person would have to have seen others as having malevolent intentions, by early adulthood in different situations, as indicated by a number of different factors. These factors include: suspicion that others are exploiting, or deceiving them, that others may not be loyal or trustworthy, believes there are threats or attacks on their character in innocent statements that others do not see, and bears persistent grudges. Additionally, this is not a diagnosis which would be used if the person also has Paranoid Schizophrenia, a separate diagnosis, for example, among other diagnosis which would exclude it.



I googled and found this -hope it helps
