PARANOIA

Paranoia involves persistent, unfounded fears that others intend harm. It can appear in psychotic disorders, personality disorders, or severe anxiety. At Interventional Psychiatry Group, we approach paranoia with compassionate, evidence-based care to help restore safety and trust.
 
What is paranoia?
Paranoia may involve unwarranted suspicion, mistrust of others, or persecutory delusions (firm beliefs that others are plotting harm without evidence). It can occur in schizophrenia, delusional disorder, paranoid personality disorder, bipolar disorder with psychotic features, or substance-induced psychosis.
 
What treatments help manage paranoia?
Treatment depends on underlying cause and may include antipsychotic medication, mood stabilizers, and psychotherapy to address thought patterns and social functioning.
Interventional Psychiatry Group offers thorough psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and collaborative care plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
