Paranoia is actually a recognized symptom of Parkinson's, so you are definitely not alone in experiencing this. Many MyParkinsonsTeam members have shared similar feelings and experiences.

Paranoia can show up in different ways, including:

- Suspicious thoughts about others
- Feeling like people are watching or following you
- Strong beliefs that feel very real but may not be based in reality
- Feelings of fear or unease around others One MyParkinsonsTeam member shared that their loved one "suffers from delusions and some paranoia," describing how the stress of these feelings even affected their sleep and appetite.

It's worth knowing that paranoia can sometimes be influenced by Parkinson's medications as a side effect, or even things like dehydration or infection. So it's really important to bring this up with your neurologist or doctor.

They can help figure out whether it's related to the condition itself, a medication adjustment, or something else — and work with you on the best way to manage it.
