	Paranoia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the diagnosis of pure paranoia is no longer used (having been superseded by the diagnosis of delusional disorder) the use of the term to signify the presence of delusions in general, rather than persecutory delusions specifically, lives on in the classification of paranoid schizophrenia, which denotes a form of schizophrenia where delusions are prominent.
		Paranoia is often associated with psychotic illnesses, particularly schizophrenia, although attenuated features may be present in other primarily non-psychotic diagnoses, such as paranoid personality disorder.
		Paranoia can also be a side effect of medication or recreational drugs; a recent report identified a number of cases of paranoia linked to the over-the-counter decongestant phenylpropanolamine.

		The prominent and distinguishing symptom of paranoia is the delusion which is gradually organized out of a mass of original but erroneous beliefs or convictions until it forms an integral part of the ordinary mental processes of the subject and becomes fused with his personality.
		A not uncommon form of paranoia combining both ambition and persecution is where the subject believes that he is a man of unbounded wealth or power, of the rights to which he is, however, deprived by the machinations of his enemies.
		The subjects of this form of paranoia are in the majority of instances unmarried women well advanced in years who have led irreproachable lives, or men of a romantic disposition who have lived their mental lives more in the realm of chimeras than in the region of real facts.

	Paranoia (role-playing game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paranoia is a humorous role-playing game set in a dystopian future similar to 1984, Brazil, Brave New World, the "downunder" civilization of A Boy and His Dog, and especially Logan's Run; however, the tone of the game is rife with fl humor, frequently tongue-in-cheek rather than dark and heavy.
		As a result, Paranoia allows Troubleshooters to be routinely killed (either deliberately or accidentally); instead of leaving the game, the player simply portrays the next member of the clone family, who is assigned to continue the mission.
		Paranoia was also made into a video game called The Paranoia Complex released in 1989 by Magic Bytes.

		In 1863, Karl Kahlbaum introduced the concept of paranoia as a separate mental illness: “a form of partial insanity, which throughout the course of the disease, principally affected the sphere of the intellect” (Manschreck, 2000).

		Psychodynamic theories suggest that paranoia is a protective response to stress or conflict that represents a threat to self-esteem or to the self (eg, unacceptable homosexual impulses, fear of the unknown, immigration) (Fennig, 2005).
