My mother has entered the menopause relatively young, at the age of 40. The transition period lasted long, she suffered from a constant change of moods, she was depressed often and also her character started to change. Can you tell me what are the basic characteristics of a paranoid personality disorder?
Women in that period often have psychological issues, depression being the most common one. Paranoid personality disorder might happen too, although it is rare. Elements of that condition are paranoia, feeling that everyone is plotting against you, patient tries to hide everything. If you suspect of some serious problems, you should try to go to the doctor with her.
