Abstract
This paper is an overview of paranoid personality disorder (PPD) and will include its etiology through the aspect of biological and psychological, symptoms, impacts, and treatments. In the discussion following, the paper will mention personality disorders and pretend to a general understanding of PPD. Then, the paper will list and briefly explain the symptoms of PPD, provide a general discussion of the causes, and explain how these symptoms affect the cognition of PPD patients, resulting in different levels of impact on themselves and their related groups. In the end, this paper will explain the possible challenges of treatment and present several common and reliable treatment practices for treating PPD. All in all, this paper enables readers to gain more insight into a paranoid personality disorder, and when there are individuals diagnosed with PPD or with PPD tendencies around you, you can deal with it calmly, to avoid the negative impact on yourself and PPD patients to a great extent.
