Treatment of Paranoid Personality Disorder

People with paranoid distrust and long-term suspicion but also a distrust of others could be described as Paranoid Personality Disorder. Also, these people believe that the acts of others around them are hostile and have a self-referencing tendency, or a persistent sense of personal right. The suspicion that arises leads the person to an aggressive behavior or to constantly rejects individuals.

Paranoid Personality Disorder is characterized by the following criteria:

It shows unjustified suspicion that others are mocking him and trying to deceive him.
He is persistently dealing with unjustified and unsubstantiated doubts about the faith or credibility of friends or associates.
He does not personally trust his subjects to others, from an unjustified fear that the information will be maliciously used against him.
They tend to draw conclusions by reading hidden mitigating or threatening messages in benign observations or events.

He holds persistent malice, i.e. he does not forgive insults, injuries or devaluations.
These patients are often hostile and react very aggressively to movements or words that they themselves perceive as insults.
It shows scenes of jealousy, without reason, about the faith of the spouse or the sexual partner.

As for the treatment process, there is a difficulty for people with this disorder to accept that they need treatment, and therefore delay or do not ask for help. The therapist must be honest towards his patient and the form of psychotherapy that seemed to work more effectively in this disorder is the individual, supportive type. Also because these people can become aggressive is something that should be taken seriously into treatment. At the same time, drug delivery helps reduce anxiety and reduce the paranoid thought of the individual and also helps develop the psychotherapy of the individual with better overall results.
