WHat is "paranoia"?

Paranoia is a mental state characterized by intense and irrational distrust or suspicion of others, often accompanied by a belief that one is being targeted or harmed by others without evidence to support such beliefs. People experiencing paranoia may see ordinary situations as threatening or think neutral actions of others as intending harm. This can lead to feelings of fear, anxiety, and isolation, as well as difficulty in maintaining relationships and functioning in daily life. Paranoia can be a symptom of various mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia, and may require treatment such as therapy and medication to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
