  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Although the diagnosis of pure paranoia is no longer used (having been superseded by the diagnosis of delusional disorder) the use of the term to signify the presence of delusions in general, rather than persecutory delusions specifically,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.
In the unrestricted use of the term, common paranoid delusions can include the belief that the person is being followed, poisoned or loved at a distance (often by a media figure or important person, a delusion known as erotomania or de Clerambault syndrome).
It still might be possible to identify a paranoid in that situation via his unrealistic assessment of the relative threat presented by various enemies, but it is not clear that non-paranoid persons are all that good at this.

 Paranoid (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paranoid is a song by Black Sabbath, coming from an album of the same name.
The record company changed the album's name from War Pigs, as it was originally intended, to Paranoid because the company was worried War Pigs would cause a backlash by supporters of the Vietnam War.
This manner spread widely and now it is common that someone shouts "Soittakaa Paranoid!" in any gig in Finland, even if he doesn't know where the joke has come from or he never has heard the song at all.

 Marvin the Paranoid Android - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Marvin the Paranoid Android is a fictional character in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams.
"Paranoid Android" is the name of a song by British rock band Radiohead, possibly named after Marvin, but without any other apparent explicit reference.
The line "When I am king you will be first against the wall" might be a reference to Marvin's introduction, in which the marketing department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation is described as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes".

 Richard Hofstadter : The Paranoid Style in American Politics
The villains of the modern right are much more vivid than those of their paranoid predecessors, much better known to the public; the literature of the paranoid style is by the same token richer and more circumstantial in personal description and personal invective.
The paranoid’s interpretation of history is distinctly personal: decisive events are not taken as part of the stream of history, but as the consequences of someone’s will.
Perhaps the central situation conducive to the diffusion of the paranoid tendency is a confrontation of opposed interests which are (or are felt to be) totally irreconcilable, and thus by nature not susceptible to the normal political processes of bargain and compromise.

 American Family Physician: Diagnosis and management of the paranoid patient   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Because paranoid ideation is a symptom rather than a diagnosis, it may be seen in a range of nonpsychotic and psychotic conditions.
Paranoid ideation is the belief that one is being harmed, persecuted, harassed or treated unfairly.[1] The imagined persecutors may be family members, acquaintances, strangers or even the physician.
Also, the paranoid belief must be sustained despite the beliefs of others and evidence or proof to the contrary.[1] For example, an elderly person who believes that his children want him to die so that they can inherit his money might be expressing a nondelusional paranoid idea.

 paranoid
Film is a persuasive medium by which to portray the paranoid character, it can create illusion in a way that literature can’t, using suggestion and complex webs of inter-related storylines and imagery to create doubt in the mind of the audience as to reality and delusion.
Generally, the Hollywood of today seems to ascribe to the later portrayal of the paranoid - that is as inherently sane, fighting for the truth in world of deceit and pretence.
This is a huge leap from the earliest cinematographic portrayals of the paranoid as mad and probably dangerous, following the shift that occurred within the twentieth century from paternalistic trust in systems and leaders to a general suspiciousness.

 Black Sabbath : Paranoid - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Paranoid was not only Black Sabbath's most popular record (it was a number one smash in the U.K., and "Paranoid" and "Iron Man" both scraped the U.S. charts despite virtually nonexistent radio play), it also stands as one of the greatest and most influential heavy metal albums of all time.
Paranoid refined Black Sabbath's signature sound -- crushingly loud, minor-key dirges loosely based on heavy blues-rock -- and applied it to a newly consistent set of songs with utterly memorable riffs, most of which now rank as all-time metal classics.
Where the extended, multi-sectioned songs on the debut sometimes felt like aimless jams, their counterparts on Paranoid have been given focus and direction, lending an epic drama to now-standards like "War Pigs" and "Iron Man" (which sports one of the most immediately identifiable riffs in metal history).
