Hi There

After going through your query I understand your concern.

I would like to tell you that Paranoia is a symptom of many psychotic and brain disorders and Dementia is category of brain disorders. Paranoia can be caused by a variety of condition like, schizophrenia disorders, delusional disorders, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, brain tumor or cyst, neurological illnesses, HIV and other infections, genetics, dementia etc.

Paranoia is treated with medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. Kindly consult with a treating Psycologist regarding this.

Hope to have been Helpful.

Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
