Hi, I was assigned to write an article about paranoia. Health topics are not my expertise but the colleague of mine is sick so the editor asks me to fill in. I have no experience with personal disorders so I need help. Please tell me something about the symptoms of paranoia.
I know how journalist life looks like. My sister is the one. I am glad that I can assist you. First you should now that the paranoia is connected with delusions. But internal delusions, not the hallucinations. The first symptom is fear. Then there is the suspicion. They suspect at anyone, at friends, parents, partners, relatives etc. They usually hear voices or have ideas like "I am the king of the world". They think that they are some famous personality. There heart work like it going to jump out of the chests, their breathing is fast or slow and shallow.
