Paranoid schizophrenic. My brother has it. This is how he types and thinks, it’s extremely depressing. 

My brother has destroyed parts of our house growing up looking for cameras, trying to barricade our yard at night to prevent “pedophiles” from stealing us (his younger sisters), he has flipped out and yelled at people in public, it’s like his fight or flight kicks in. It’s extremely hard to watch. He’s a nomad now, he doesn’t trust any place we pitch in to pay for, he won’t stay in a sober house, he won’t stay in transition housing. He’s just too paranoid.

It’s really interesting to me that paranoid schizophrenia presents itself in similar ways in people. 

The fact that their symptoms result in the same types of beliefs is fascinating

It’s probably something in our brain that causes a chemical reaction that elicits those pathways. I’m *clearly* not educated on the matter, but the fact that it does the same or similar thing every time is probably a good indication that there is a consistent biological mechanism behind it, like autism. 

Something is happening to the way those human’s brains process information, and it’s been happening to humans as long as we can find records of such details.

I wonder if any ancient historical figures had it 

For low estimates, it’s about 5 people in 2000

Almost certainly. How many paranoid rulers have been documented. Some of them had do be mentally ill.
