Paranoia is a delusional belief, especially one that harm will occur
because a persecutor intends it.

* 301.00 Paranoid Personality Disorder

A. A pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others such that their
motives are interpreted as malevolent, beginning by early adulthood and
present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by four (or more) of the
following:

1. suspects, without sufficient basis, that others are
exploiting, harming, or deceiving him or her
2. is preoccupied with unjustified doubts about the loyalty or
trustworthiness of friends or associates
3. is reluctant to confide in others because of unwarranted fear
that the information will be used maliciously against him or her
4. reads hidden demeaning or threatening meanings into benign
remarks or events
5. persistently bears grudges, i.e., is unforgiving of insults,
injuries, or slights
6. perceives attacks on his or her character or reputation that
are not apparent to others and is quick to react angrily or to
counterattack
7. has recurrent suspicions, without justification, regarding
fidelity of spouse or sexual partner
