What is a "persecution complex"?

A persecution complex is a psychological condition characterized by an irrational belief that one is being mistreated, oppressed, or punished by others. Individuals with a persecution complex may interpret neutral or harmless interactions as evidence of mistreatment or a scheme against them. This belief often leads to feelings of paranoia, resentment, and unfriendliness towards others, as well as a sense of being a victim. While some individuals may have experienced genuine mistreatment or oppression in the past, a persecution complex involves an exaggerated or false sense of punishment that is not based on reality. Treatment for a persecution complex may involve therapy to challenge and change these beliefs, as well as addressing any underlying issues contributing to the condition.
