Question: Is 'the nature of suspicion/suspecting people often' classified as a paranoid personality disorder?
Answers:
If you have a legitimate reason to distrust someone that is not paranoia. If you are walking down the street and think a random stranger is following you to harm you (without cause - not some mugging situation) then that would be paranoia.
Paranoia is a symptom in many mental disorders.
As far as Psychiatry is concerned psychiatrists also must have a medical degree. They are medical doctors. Is a neurosurgeon legitimate? Would you trust them if you had a brain tumor? I think so.
You have social anxiety disorder...
