Is paranoia part of depression?
It can be. It can also be part of other disorders. If you’ve been diagnosed with depression and this is a new symptom, I recommend that you see the doctor who diagnosed you. If you haven’t been diagnosed, now is a good time. Find a good psychiatrist. Take it from someone who lived with paranoia for months, it’s not fun and it’s bound to keep depression going. If it is a sign of another illness, it should be treated now–before you find yourself trapped inside and afraid to leave. Your life can be balanced if you know what is causing this and get the help you need.
