Paranoid schizophrenia is the most common form of schizophrenia. It is manifested primarily through impaired thought processes, in which the central focus is on distorted perceptions or paranoid behavior and thinking.

Paranoia Vera is not a symptom, but a syndrome. The term is out of fashion, but those who studied it said that it was distinct from paranoid schizophrenia, in that it consisted of paranoid delusions without any other signs of schizophrenia.
The main features of paranoid schizophrenia are paranoid delusions (believing that others are trying to harm or persecute you) and auditory hallucinations (hearing things that are not real). The main feature of catatonic schizophrenia is extremes of behavior. At one extreme, you cannot speak, move, or respond. At the other, you have overstated and hyperactive motion.
There is no specific type of schizophrenia that is associated with self-harm. Self-harm in schizophrenia is generally associated with delusions. For example, a patient with schizophrenia may believe that if he or she cuts off a finger then the world will be saved. Because self-harm in schizophrenia is associated with delusions, patients with paranoid schizophrenia or undifferentiated schizophrenia may be more likely to self-harm than patients with other types of schizophrenia.
Paranoid schizophrenia is a disease of the brain.
