Paranoia: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Paranoia''' can be described as negative and often irrational feelings of fear, worry, and [[anxiety]]. These feelings can range from subtle and ignorable to intense and overwhelming enough to trigger [[anxiety#panic attacks|panic attacks]] and [[feelings of impending doom]]. Paranoia also frequently leads to excessively secretive and overcautious behavior which stems from the perceived ideation of one or more scenarios, some of which commonly include: fear of surveillance, imprisonment, conspiracies ~~and~~ plots against an individual, betrayal, and being caught. This effect can be the result of real evidence, but is often based on assumption and false pretense.

Paranoia is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[anxiety]] and [[delusions]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[hallucinogenic]] compounds, such as [[cannabinoids]], [[psychedelics]], [[dissociatives]], and [[deliriants]]. However, it can also occur during the withdrawal symptoms of [[GABAergic]] [[depressants]] and during [[stimulant]] comedowns.
