Paranoid Schizophrenia is a subtype of schizophrenia characterized by prominent delusions and auditory hallucinations. Individuals with this disorder often experience intense mistrust, believing others are plotting against them or intending harm. These paranoid beliefs lead to defensive behaviors and social withdrawal. Hallucinations may involve hearing voices that reinforce the persecutory delusions. Treatment typically includes antipsychotic medications, therapy, and support to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is essential to provide a comprehensive approach that addresses both the positive and negative symptoms associated with paranoid schizophrenia for effective management.
