Nombres alternativos

Trastorno de personalidad paranoide

Síntomas:

Las personas con un trastorno de personalidad paranoica son altamente recelosas de los demás y como resultado limitan su vida social de manera drástica.

Con frecuencia piensan que están en peligro y buscan pruebas para apoyar sus sospechas. Las personas con este trastorno tienen dificultad para ver que su desconfianza es desproporcionada para su entorno.

Los síntomas comunes abarcan:

  • Preocupación porque los demás tienen motivos ocultos
  • Expectativa de que serán explotados por otros
  • Incapacidad para trabajar junto con otros
  • Aislamiento social
  • Desapego
  • Hostilidad

Signos y exámenes:

Como con otros trastornos de la personalidad, el trastorno de personalidad paranoica se diagnostican sobre la base de una evaluación psicológica, al igual que los antecedentes y la gravedad de los síntomas.
