A member asked:

What is the difference between paranoid schizophrenia and paranoid personality disorder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reality: Schizophrenia means a loss of contact with reality. If you read or saw "A beautiful mind" that would be an excellent example of paranoid schizophrenia. A personality disorder does not have this disconnect.
