This type of schizophrenia can be quite long and severe. It is not uncommon for it to entail many different troubles, both for the patient and for those around him. In case of detection of paranoia in a person, it is necessary to urgently seek help from a psychiatrist. But how do you define paranoia? And what kind of disease is this?
Paranoia is a mental disorder, a type of schizophrenia, which is characterized by megalomania, pretense, suspicion, and suicidal forms of the disease are often present. There are two stages in the development of the disease.
At the first stage, the person continues to lead an ordinary life, without any changes or disturbances. It seems that the person is absolutely healthy, and there is no reason for the development of the disease. At the second stage, the disease itself appears in the form of further signs. The reasons for the development of this disorder may be alcohol abuse, the use of drugs or other external factors that produce these mental disorders.
For many years, the disease can affect a person slowly and imperceptibly. Subsequently, he develops signs such as conceit, selfishness, persecution mania, various auditory hallucinations, up to suicidal tendencies. It seems to the patient that he is being watched, overheard, or laughing at him. He becomes suspicious, angry, nervous and quick-tempered. Such people not only can destroy themselves, they will not stop at murder. Therefore, in this situation, you should consult a doctor.
The treatment that the doctor prescribes consists in taking various medications. In addition, depending on the cause of the disease, the disease can go away immediately, or it can stay with the person for life. Therefore, the sooner a person identifies this mental disorder, the more timely and comfortable the treatment will be.
