The Dangerous Politics of Paranoia

Symptoms of paranoia include persistent and pervasive mistrust, misinterpreting innocent remarks as harmful or threatening, and feeling constantly targeted or persecuted by others.

They might be reluctant to confide in others, believing their information will be used against them, leading to social isolation and difficulty maintaining relationships.
