F60: Specific personality disorders
F60.0: Paranoid personality disorder
Everyone has personal characteristics that are deeply rooted. The personality involves certain patterns: how one things, feels and behaves. Personal characteristic patterns can exist that can cause problems in one’s work and social environment. This usually happens when behavioral patterns and thought patterns differ greatly from those of the majority of the population.
Your personality has changed. One may react with exaggerated sensitivity when one is rejected. One may find it hard to forgive and look for conflict. One may also be more mistrustful towards one’s environment and one’s own partner than would be normal. One may also be very self-centered and believe in conspiracies.
