Is the nature of suspicion/suspecting people often classified as a paranoid personality disorder?

Suspecting others: Having suspicions about other people is not necessarily a problem--especially if they actually are guilty. But, there may be a problem when the suspiciousness becomes pervasive and is focused on the motives of many others in a variety of contexts. But, in order to diagnose a patient with paranoid personality disorder your doctor would detect at least four specific and related symptoms.

With what intensity: There can be healthy suspiciousness and there can be obsessional, paranoid one. If it is becoming an everyday occurrence, you may consider you have a problem. Check out of the fog on line support group for people with personality disorders and their loved ones, for a detail list of symptoms.

Could Be: It could be part of general personality pattern or if there are fixed false beliefs about such things , it could be a delusin. In either case talking to mental health professional is a good idea.
