Could paranoia as a child turn into paranoid schizophrenia as an adult?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, it is possible : However, not every paranoid child grows up to be a paranoid adult, especially if their circumstances change or they receive corrective therapy. Best wishes.

Depends : Time is needed to assess. Schizophrenia affects 1% of the population. Paranoia, depending on how it is manifesting , may be unrelated to schizophrenia.
