Abstract
The idea of paranoia has existed since Antiquity, but it was only in the 19th centurythat psychiatrists became interested in it and sought to describe it. Delusion and the feeling of persecution are common in all paranoiacs. The origins of the disease can be found in the patient's psychic structure. Establishing and maintaining contact with a caregiver is one way of helping the patient.
