According to news reports and press releases she does not have Paranoid Personality Disorder, she has a Multi-Personality Disorder.

Paranoid Personality Disorder is a diagnosis in itself .. it has nothing to do with Paranoid Schizophrenia.. Paranoid Schizophrenia is a mental ILLNESS and Paranoid Personality Disorder is a DISORDER! mental illnesses are treatable with medication... mental DISORDERS are not treatable with any type of medication. both are seperate diagnosis`s of their own

Paranoid schizophrenia, delusional disorder (persecutory type), and paranoid personality disorder (PPD).

Paranoid personality disorder can be prevented by reminding oneself that people are not going to hurt you. Also, children whose needs are consistently and fully met (including social needs) are less likely to develop paranoid personality disorder later in life.

Some of the first signs of a paranoid personality disorder are having an overbearing sense of distrust for others and an unhealthy level of unnecessary suspicion. Another sign of a paranoid personality disorder is the irrational belief that other people are seeking to personally and maliciously harm one.
