High impact information on Paranoid Personality Disorder

About 40% of the sample were found to have DSM-IIIR Schizotypal, Schizoid, or Paranoid Personality Traits or Disorders [1].
The results are in keeping with the earlier finding that violent offenders with paranoid personality traits have higher urinary levels of bufotenin than other violent offenders [2].
Suspiciousness, feeling persecuted, and grandiosity constitute the classical triad associated with paranoid personality [3].
