3. Symptoms
A person with this disorder is very distrustful. He
does not take people or events at face value, but is
always looking to uncover the real truth, the
hidden motive. These people assume that others
are out harm them, even without evidence for it.
Honest mistakes are seen as attempted rip-offs
and harmless jokes as demeaning insults.

4. Treatment
Treatment is difficult because people with this
condition are often very suspicious of doctors. If
treatment is accepted, talk therapy and
medications can often be effective.
