Vanessa,
Paranoia about health issues is a mental state where you are suspicious without reason!. You may feel that people are trying to harm you in some way or that something dreadful is about to happen!. Everyone can be suspicious at times, or feel fearful about the future, but if you are experiencing paranoia you may lose insight into the fact that perhaps your fears are groundless, and in extreme forms you may be unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy!. Paranoia is a psychiatric condition which often occurs as a feature of a more serious mental illness such as schizophrenia or manic depression, or as a result of using street drugs!.

Paranoia can take many forms, and is often seen as a response to the particular life stresses of an individual!. You may feel isolated and unable to depend upon or trust anyone else!. You might feel suspicious of other people's actions and motivations, that everyone has a hidden agenda concerning you!. You may become irrationally jealous of a partner, or suspect that a relative is trying to poison you!. Feelings of being watched or followed are common, and in extreme cases you might think that your thoughts are being monitored or that your home is bugged!.


Who experiences it!?
Anyone can experience mild feelings of paranoia as a result of things going wrong in their life, however, extreme paranoia is usually seen in people with mental health problems, or users of street drugs!. People may develop paranoia at any age, but young people tend to have the most spectacular delusions, for example, that aliens are controlling my thoughts"!. Young men are affected slightly more than young women!.

What causes it!?
Paranoia can be caused by a number of factors such as stressful life events, but it is most commonly seen in people with mental health problems and people using street drugs!. Drugs such as amphetamine, cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy and LSD often cause bad trips, where users feel paranoid for a time, but long-term or heavy drug users can experience more serious problems with paranoia that are not easily shaken off!.

People experiencing severe anxiety or depression can develop problems with paranoid feelings, but the most extreme forms of paranoia are usually seen in people diagnosed with schizophrenia or manic depression!. These illnesses can cause people to lose touch with reality, a feature known as psychosis, so that when people develop paranoia they frequently lose the insight to recognise that their fears are not grounded in reality!.
