10 Symptoms of Schizophrenia
Symptom #5: Paranoia
Most of us know that the world is not perfect. Things can go wrong and there are even some people out there with nefarious intentions. Generally, we recognize that we are quite safe with little chance of people out to get us. For someone with schizophrenia though, it can be easy to think that people are out to deliberately hurt them.
Paranoia is a fairly common symptom among people with schizophrenia. It can range from fairly mild, causing some degree of discomfort, to downright debilitating. Paranoia can lead to people locking themselves away in a room to keep themselves safe from the perceived threats outside.
