Why do people get paranoia? It turns out these 5 reasons are the cause

Delusional disorder is a disease with a relatively high incidence rate nowadays. Due to different symptoms, it is divided into ten types, including persecution delusion, relationship delusion, jealousy delusion, etc. It can cause great harm to the physical and mental health of the human body. So what factors in daily life can lead to the formation of delusional disorder? Let’s take a closer look at the factors that cause paranoia!

1. The main obstacle is the lack of basic trust in other people. Its characteristic is the use of "denial" and "externalization" to deal with psychological difficulties, which leads to systematic delusions.

2. They are sensitive, suspicious, selfish and only care about their own enjoyment.

3. Common problems are the inability to respect one's own boundaries, the inability to distinguish one's own views from those of others, and the lack of ability to understand one's own motives and attitudes.

4. Many delusional patients may have some secrets in their hearts that others believe cannot be told. They feel very guilty and fearful and are afraid of others knowing.

5. In addition to being affected by personal factors, the content of delusions in some patients is also affected by social and cultural factors because they are in a special environment or in a state of long-term stress.

In addition, elderly people who have a wealthy material life and are not without children or spouse may suffer from paranoia if they are too lonely at home. This situation can easily be ignored by their families and society. These "empty-nest elderly" who suffer from long-term spiritual loneliness should attract the attention of their families and society.

To avoid illness, people should focus on developing a sound personality, cultivating a variety of beneficial hobbies, and keeping an open mind. If you feel unhappy for a long time, you should learn to control yourself, go online or to the library to look up relevant mental health knowledge, make a simple judgment on your symptoms, and then actively adjust yourself: for example, talk to friends and family, participate in some sports, or go sightseeing. In addition, the most effective solution is to seek psychological counseling from a psychologist. The psychologist will make various solutions based on each person's situation and gradually guide people back to a happy life.

Paranoia is a chronic disease characterized by systematic and organized delusions.

The estimated prevalence is approximately 0.03%, with no gender difference in incidence, and most cases occur in middle or late adulthood. The delusions of patients with paranoid disorder are "non-bizarre", which means that the content involves situations that may occur in daily life, such as being stalked, poisoned, loved, deceived or framed by family members, etc.

Generally speaking, patients with delusional disorder do not have symptoms of hallucinations, but a small number of them may have tactile or olfactory hallucinations related to the delusional theme. Apart from the delusion-related content that may be affected (such as hiding at home for fear of being hunted by gangsters), the rest of the behavior and appearance are normal, and there are no major obstacles to the patient's personality, intelligence, and the relationship between him and the environment.
