Question:

What would be done to treat a person who had Paranoid Personality Disorder?


Answers:

Probably a combination of medication and counseling. There are drugs available from professionals that help someone better interpret what is going on around them. For example, my sister has paranoid thoughts sometimes and has learned to recognize when they occur. It took a lot of practice with her psychiatrist, but now she is much better able to tell when she is overreacting to people and events around her, and taking them too personally. When it happens, she has people from a support group she can call to talk about her feelings, and medication that she knows will help her be calmer and think more clearly. However, paranoia is not her primary problem. It will probably be difficult to persuade someone who is truly paranoid that it is okay to get help.
