What What is the disorder Paranoid? The paranoid personality disorder is a personality disorder characterized by the tendency , persistent and unjustified, to perceive and interpret the intentions, words and actions of others as malevolent, threatening or humiliating . The world is experienced as hostile and always looked in varied contexts, with mistrust and suspicion, resulting in a "mandatory preference" for a solitary lifestyle. Mistrust and suspicion drive people who suffer from this disorder to have a hypervigilant attitude (look for signs of threat, deception and underlying meanings of the words and actions altrui), ad agire in modo cauto e guardingo, ad apparire “fredde” e prive di sentimenti; questi soggetti sono, inoltre, eccessivamente permalosi, polemici, ostinati e sempre pronti a contrattaccare quando credono di essere criticati o maltrattati.
Questa patologia colpisce lo 0,5-2,5% della popolazione , con una maggiore incidenza tra le minoranze etniche e gli immigrati. Si presenta più frequentemente negli uomini.
