Light paranoia - it is normal for even healthy people

Paranoid thoughts are a common occurrence among healthy people, in fact, according to Professor, University of London, Paul Bebington, a little paranoia - is even useful: unhealthy suspicion and a tendency throughout to see the enemies - these are signs of the disease, but a little bit reasonable care in the modern world not hurt.



Bebington included in the group of researchers involved in the study of psychosis, a "satellite" which is paranoia. To understand the essence of paranoia, the scientists conducted a survey among 8576-year-man, and the results were more than surprising, it was found that most of the participants have paranoid thoughts in a certain amount. However, about 11, 9% of respondents are confident that their persecuted, even 28% - do not trust anyone (even the closest people, such as spouses or parents) and only 29% of respondents are quasi-normal, because in their replies revealed no more 10% of paranoia.

Thus, the discovery of Bebington and his colleagues will help remove the stigma of "madman" with many healthy people as well as to develop new therapies to help the really sick people.
