HMI World | Around Harvard Paranoid personality disorder may be genetically related to schizophrenia, althoughthe delusional disorders are another source of paranoid thinking. http://hmiworld.org/hmi/past_issues/Jan_Feb_2005/around_paranoia.html
Extractions: The identifying mark of paranoid personality is fear (and expectation) of attack and betrayal. Paranoid personalities are suspicious, touchy, humorless, quick to take offense and slow to forgive, self-righteous, argumentative, often litigious. They seldom show tenderness and may avoid intimacy; often they seem tense and brusque. Paranoid personalities find causal connections everywhere; nothing is coincidental. They think that others are taking special notice of them and see references to themselves in innocuous behavior and irrelevant events. They are constantly on guard, searching for hidden motives and meetings. Once they fix on an idea or explanation, they look for evidence to validate their prejudices, and it is almost impossible to change their minds. When something goes wrong in their lives, they believe that another person is to blame. Some are arrogant, but others may be secretive because they fear that anything they say or do will be used against them. That can be a self-fulfilling prophecy because apparent coldness and arrogance make others uneasy, and mistrust provokes mistrust. According to the familiar saying, even paranoids have enemies. In fact, it is especially paranoids who have enemies because their attitudes and behavior provoke real hostility, further feeding their suspicions.

Extractions: By Sam Vaknin, 11/1/2002 The study of narcissism is a century old and the two scholarly debates central to its conception are still undecided. Is there such a thing as HEALTHY adult narcissism (Kohut) - or are all the manifestations of narcissism in adulthood pathological (Freud, Kernberg)? Moreover, is pathological narcissism the outcome of verbal, sexual, physical, or psychological abuse (the overwhelming view) - or, on the contrary, the sad result of spoiling the child and idolizing it (Millon, the late Freud)?

Extractions: How common are psychological disorders in the United States A. Methods for answering the question: To answer this question, survey researchers are trained to administer short diagnostic tools which suggest whether or not an individual is psychologically impaired. However, these survey research tools only "estimate", but do not actually diagnose, one's psychological state of being. Next, a stratified random sample of the population is identified. Large research studies (e.g. those conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health, NIMH, or the Centers for Disease Control, CDC) divide the U.S. into sections or geographic regions. Within each region subsections are identified to represent rural, suburban, and urban zones. Finally, individuals will be identified within each zone who represent different gender, race, age, religion, ethnicity, etc., groups. Researchers then interview the identified individuals with the hope that the sample is a good representation of the entire population. Typically, only federal agencies and large universities with federal grants have the resources necessary to collect this kind of data. A smaller study gives a less complete answer, so it is important to look at whether results of several small studies
Extractions: Suspicion about others motive: An unmistakable sign of paranoia is continual mistrust like the world as a most threatening place. They tend to confirm their expectations by latching on to any speck of evidence that supports their suspicions and ignore or misinterpret any evidence to the contrary. They are ever watchful and may look around for signs of a threat. They always suspect that others are exploiting, blackmailing or deceiving them, and others may not be loyal or trustworthy, believe there are threats or attacks on their character in innocent statements that others do not imagine. They bear persistent grudges and continue to expect trickery and to doubt the loyalty of others. In a personal relationship or marriage, this suspiciousness may take the form of unrealistic jealousy. Because persons with paranoid personality disorder are hyper alert, they notice any slight and may take offense where none is intended. As a result, they tend to be defensive and antagonistic. When they are at fault, they cannot accept blame, not even mild criticism. Yet they are highly serious of others.

What are the differences between paranoid personality disorder, paranoia or delusional disorder and paranoid schizophrenia. Specifically, what is the difference in the causes of each? Do they all involve a chemical imbalance or is that just in schizophrenia? A. Not to be flippant, but if I knew the answers to these questions, I might be up for a Nobel Prize! Unfortunately, we really do not know the ultimate causes of any of the conditions you are asking about. We do have quite a bit of evidence that schizophrenia is powerfully driven by biogenetic factors, and that abnormalities in the brain chemical dopamine are strongly implicated. As for delusional disorder (paranoia) and paranoid personality disorder, we have a very rudimentary understanding of their causes. Much less research has focused on these conditions, since we do not see them nearly as frequently as we see schizophrenia. But maybe I can at least explain the differences between these diagnoses. In delusional disorder (DD)which can occur in a variety of types-the individual has a specific, circumscribed loss of reality testing. That is, the person with DD has a particular delusional belief-such as "The FBI is out to get me", or "Clint Eastwood is in love with me"without any other major disturbance in thinking, mood, behavior, intellectual function, or beliefs.
