Paranoia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (732 words)
Although the diagnosis of pure paranoia is no longer used (having been superseded by the diagnosis of delusional disorder) the use of the term to signify the presence of delusions in general, rather than persecutory delusions specifically, lives on in the classification of paranoid schizophrenia, which denotes a form of schizophrenia where delusions are prominent.
In the unrestricted use of the term, common paranoid delusions can include the belief that the person is being followed, poisoned or loved at a distance (often by a media figure or important person, a delusion known as erotomania or de Clerambault syndrome).
It still might be possible to identify a paranoid in that situation via his unrealistic assessment of the relative threat presented by various enemies, but it is not clear that non-paranoid persons are all that good at this.
Paranoid (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (247 words)
Paranoid is a song by Black Sabbath, coming from an album of the same name.
The record company changed the album's name from War Pigs, as it was originally intended, to Paranoid because the company was worried War Pigs would cause a backlash by supporters of the Vietnam War.
This manner spread widely and now it is common that someone shouts "Soittakaa Paranoid!" in any gig in Finland, even if he doesn't know where the joke has come from or he never has heard the song at all.
