00:08bills.

00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about all you need to know about Paranoid Personality

00:14Disorder.

00:15Paranoid Personality Disorder PPD is a type of eccentric personality disorder where people

00:20are overly suspicious and mistrustful.

00:22This can affect daily life as you may believe others want to harm you.

00:26Some common traits include being reluctant to confide in others, holding grudges, and

00:29reading hidden threats in innocent comments.

00:32It affects 1.2% to 4.4% of people worldwide.

00:36Treatment can be tough since you may not trust others, including healthcare professionals,

00:40but they'll work with you to build trust.

00:421.

00:43Causes and Risk Factors PPD's exact cause is unknown, but it likely

00:47involves a mix of biological and environmental factors.

00:50It's more common in families with schizophrenia or delusional disorder and may be linked to

00:54childhood trauma.

00:55Other risk factors include being divorced, widowed, or single, as well as low-income

00:59living.

01:00Studies show African Americans, Native Americans, and Hispanic Americans are more likely to

01:05be diagnosed, potentially due to trauma and stress.

01:082.

01:09Symptoms of PPD You might believe others have hidden motives,

01:12doubt people's loyalty, or struggle to work with others.

01:15Other signs include hypersensitivity to criticism, anger, social isolation, and trouble relaxing.

01:21It can be hard to recognize these behaviors, and they can overlap with conditions like

01:25schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder.

01:283.

01:29Diagnosing PPD To diagnose PPD, doctors will ask about

01:32your symptoms, medical history, and may refer you to a mental health professional for further

01:36evaluation.

01:38You may be asked about your childhood, relationships, and how you'd react in certain situations.

01:43From there, a diagnosis and treatment plan will be formed.

01:464.

01:47Treatment for PPD Treatment is possible but challenging since

01:50those with PPD often don't see their behavior as problematic.

01:53Talk therapy or psychotherapy can help you cope, improve social communication, and reduce

01:58paranoia.

01:59Medications like antidepressants or mood stabilizers may be used, especially if there's depression

02:03or anxiety.

02:05Combining therapy with medication is often effective.

02:085.

02:09Long-term Outlook Your outlook depends on how open you are to

02:11treatment.

02:12Without it, PPD can make it hard to keep a job or maintain healthy relationships.

02:17But with ongoing treatment, life can improve, even though PPD doesn't go away completely.

02:22You'll need to manage symptoms with long-term care and support.
