What Are the Symptoms of a Paranoid Schizophrenic?
Schizophrenia is a devastating brain disorder that affects 1 percent of the world’s population. Symptoms usually first appear in the late teens or early 20s, the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) states. Paranoid schizophrenia, a subtype of schizophrenia, occurs more often in males. Paranoid schizophrenics are often better able to function in society than people with other subtypes, whose symptoms interfere more with thought processes and daily living activities, according to the Mayo Clinic.
