Question: If i often suspect people like those mentioned below that i meet often everyday, is it mental illness?
I lend money to friend who tells a lie and then he/she never returns it, my brother asks to buy him a house and says will return money but never returned, boss told me will pay salary but never paid etc. I trusted them as a mentally normal and healthy person according to psychiatry. But if i suspect them psychiatry would tag me mentally ill with paranoid personality disorder. Is psychiatry trustable?
Answers:
If you have a valid reason to believe someone will/has wronged you, or you have a strong gut instinct about specific individuals that they're not worth your trust, then that's fine. When you suspect everyone of everything and/or it is at the point it alters how you run your life day to day, then it's an illness.
