Paranoia is described as a condition that is derived from the lack of knowledge of truth or one’s resistance to the truth.

The symptoms of paranoia are distrust, difficulty with forgiveness, defensive attitude, imagined criticism, preoccupation with hidden motives, fear of being deceived, inability to relax, argumentation. delusions of persecution, unwarranted jealousy, an exaggerated sense of self-importance, addictive tendencies, and a loss of touch with reality.

And the experts who have studied this disease of the mind say that the best way to treat this disease is to…. in simple terms face lies and deceptions head-on and exalt truth.
