Paranoid Personality Disorder Treatment in Abu Dhabi
Expert Psychiatric and Psychological Support for Persistent Distrust and Suspicion
Individuals with Paranoid Personality Disorder (PPD) often experience chronic suspicion, mistrust of others, and emotional detachment. These patterns can deeply affect relationships, workplace interactions, and overall well-being. If you or a loved one is struggling with ongoing mistrust or paranoia, professional treatment can help.
At Maudsley Health Abu Dhabi, we provide tailored care for Paranoid Personality Disorder using evidence-based psychiatric and psychological approaches. Our UK-trained psychiatrists and clinical psychologists offer comprehensive assessments and therapy in a safe, discreet environment.
What Is Paranoid Personality Disorder?
Paranoid Personality Disorder is a long-term mental health condition characterised by pervasive distrust and suspicion of others — even when there is no reason to be suspicious. People with PPD may believe others are trying to harm, exploit, or deceive them.
Unlike short-term episodes of fear or anxiety, paranoia refers to a chronic pattern of thinking that interferes with relationships and quality of life. Individuals with PPD often avoid closeness with others, misinterpret benign interactions as threats, and may become angry or defensive without clear cause.
Symptoms of Paranoid Personality Disorder
Signs and symptoms of Paranoid Personality Disorder may include:
– Persistent distrust of others’ intentions
– Belief that others are deceiving or exploiting them
– Reluctance to confide in others
– Holding grudges or perceiving insults where none exist
– Reacting with anger or hostility to perceived slights
– Emotional detachment and difficulty with intimacy
– Excessive self-reliance and social withdrawal
These symptoms often create challenges in maintaining personal and professional relationships and may lead to isolation.
What Causes Paranoid Personality Disorder?
While the exact causes of PPD are not fully understood, contributing factors may include:
- Genetic predisposition – a family history of personality or psychotic disorders
- Early childhood trauma – neglect, abuse, or chronic stress
- Environmental influences – upbringing in a mistrustful or threatening environment
- Coexisting conditions – such as anxiety disorders or substance misuse
At our mental health clinic in Abu Dhabi, we perform a thorough evaluation to understand each person’s background and create a treatment plan that addresses both the symptoms and their underlying causes.
