What Does Paranoid Mean?

A person who is afflicted with paranoia is known as paranoid. The characteristic of someone who is suffering from the disease is also known as paranoid.

Paranoid is an obsessive concern about one's security and safety. Such a person is insecure in his belief and can feel suspicious or fearful about a lot of elements, which he assumes as a threat to his life and property. Being obsessed with nagging fear and mistrust for others becomes second nature in a paranoid personality. The term paranoia is now rechristened in psychiatry as delusional disorder or paranoid delusions. A person who is suffering from paranoid delusions is often schizophrenic, believing that someone is lurking behind to harm him or kill him. What can be a figment of imagination become a naked reality to a person who is suffering from a delusional disorder. It is not necessary that a person who is paranoid may have persecutory, fearful or suicidal thoughts. Some cases of delusional disorders have people believing that they are important icons or legends. They may also believe that there is a twin who looks exactly like him and is around him. Paranoid can also loosely mean "hyper." When we say," He is paranoid about his project work," it means that he is overtly concerned and stressed about the impending work.
