The new form of paranoia
- Psychiatrická léčebna Bohnice, Praha
The term paranoia was first time published by the psychiatrist Heinroth in 1818. It was identified as the pathology delusion of the person
without an impaired intellectual capacity. Nowadays, in the International Classification of Diseases, the paranoia is called The Permanent
Delusion Disorder. It is difficult to treat. The main symptom is a chronic paranoid delusion. In general it can be understood as a feeling
of special human capacity or serving a special mission. Other symptoms of paranoia include hypersensitivity, delusions, complains, keeping
feisty fellings and radical attitudes, suspisiousness and being self-centered. The disorder has a fluent progress when the delusion
is slowly becoming systematic.
