Paranoid Personality Disorder or PPD is a mental health condition characterized by pervasive distrust and suspicion of others, even in the absence of evidence or justification.
Individuals with PPD often interpret benign actions or remarks as malevolent, leading to interpersonal conflicts, social isolation, and difficulties in relationships.
The exact cause of PPD is unknown, but a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors may contribute to its development.
Treatment for PPD can be challenging due to the individual’s mistrust of mental health professionals, and therapy may focus on building trust, improving communication, and addressing underlying fears.
PPD can significantly impair social and occupational functioning, leading to problems in various areas of life, including work, family, and friendships.
