Paranoid personality disorder

norm

Paranoid personality disorder is a mental disorder characterized by paranoia and a pervasive, long-standing suspiciousness and generalized mistrust of others. Individuals with this personality disorder may be hypersensitive, easily feel slighted, and habitually relate to the world by vigilant scanning of the environment for clues or suggestions that may validate their fears or biases. Paranoid individuals are eager observers. They think they are in danger and look for signs and threats of that danger, potentially not appreciating other evidence.

They tend to be guarded and suspicious and have quite constricted emotional lives. Their reduced capacity for meaningful emotional involvement and the general pattern of isolated withdrawal often lend a quality of schizoid isolation to their life experience. People with this particular disorder may or may not have a tendency to bear grudges, suspiciousness, tendency to interpret others' actions as hostile, persistent tendency to self-reference, or a tenacious sense of personal right.

Παρανοειδής διαταραχή της προσωπικότητας είναι μια ψυχική διαταραχή που χαρακτηρίζεται από την παράνοια και μια διάχυτη, μακροχρόνια καχυποψία και γενικευμένη δυσπιστία των άλλων. Τα άτομα με αυτή τη διαταραχή προσωπικότητας μπορεί να είναι υπερευαίσθητα, εύκολα να αισθάνονται slighted, και συνήθως σχετίζονται με τον κόσμο με την άγρυπνη σάρωση του περιβάλλοντος για τις ενδείξεις ή προτάσεις που μπορούν να επικυρώσουν τους φόβους ή τις προκαταλήψεις τους. Paranoid άτομα είναι πρόθυμοι παρατηρητές. Νομίζουν ότι είναι σε κίνδυνο και ψάξουμε για σημάδια και τις απειλές του εν λόγω κινδύνου, ενδεχομένως δεν αντιλαμβάνομαι άλλα αποδεικτικά στοιχεία.

Τείνουν να είναι φυλασσόμενο και καχύποπτοι και έχουν αρκετά στενόχωρα συναισθηματική ζωή. Μειωμένη ικανότητα τους για ουσιαστική συναισθηματική εμπλοκή και το γενικότερο πλαίσιο των απομονωμένων απόσυρσης δανείζουν συχνά μια ποιότητα σχιζοειδής απομόνωσης για την εμπειρία της ζωής τους. Τα άτομα με τη συγκεκριμένη διαταραχή μπορεί να είναι ή να μην έχουν την τάση να φέρει κακίες, καχυποψία, τάση να ερμηνεύσουν τις πράξεις των άλλων ως εχθρική, επίμονη τάση να αυτο-αναφορά, ή μια επίμονη αίσθηση της προσωπικής δικαιώματος.

Maynard asks, "what became of subtlety?"

Nothing a little "Psychopharmacology" won't take care of:

"Feelin' better than yesterday, and worse than tomorrow
It's depressing for me to say I been dressing like greta garbo
Oh psychopharmacology works wonders, wonder will it work on me?

They been searching for a cat who matches that perscription
Sign up for a chat, they said we'll cure your addiction
Well psychopharmacology works wonders, wonder will it work on me?
Yeah psycho...

I need something to calm me down
I need something to keep me focused
Narcaleptic, paranoid, and borderline hopeless
A.D.D., P.C.P., f-u-c-k-e-d that's me.

I'm feelin' better than yesterday, and I'm havin' none of that
They say all the world's a stage, it's more like a medicine cabinet.
Psychopharamcology works wonders, wonder will it work
Psychopharmacology works wonders, wonder will it work
Psychopharmacology works wonders, wonder will it work on me?

(psycho)
On me...
We'll see..."

Never heard of that! The page wouldn't load for me except for the title of "Pink Moon Rising" (which reminded me not only of CC&R but also of cheesey porn )

I hope the mist lifts here; I'd love to see it.

Have you seen my bottle of Klonopin (clonazepam)? I can't find it and I'm freaking out.

.... Freaking out so bad I can't even look for it...

Ahh.. there it is. next to the Adivan (lorazepam) and Xanax (alprazolam)

I need my benzos.

Cool, you got to see the pink!

I get it!

One of my other favorite P.W. quotes:

"Get up from a dream
And I look for rain
Take an amphetamine
And a crushed rat's brain
How am I feelin
Better I suppose..."

But seriously, meaning to make (too much) not making fun here. I've know P.P.D. people but none that ever hurt anyone... except themselves. They stay in my thoughts- it can't be easy being there.
