Is paranoia a normal symptom of depression?
So many people at work seem to go out of there way to ask me how I'm doing lately.
Is it normal to feel like the whole freaking world knows about your diagnosis and they're all too freaked out to say so?
I'm just curious.
Thanks

do people at work know about your diagnosis?
sometimes when we are getting treatment or are newly diagnosed, we can be what my therapist called "hypervigilant. we tend to be on guard and really aware of things. also, you may be experiencing anxiety along with your depression.
i get suspicious at times, about people talking about me. even when i know they mean no harm.
paranoia is a pretty strong word. i do know that some of us have "psychotic " features to our illnesses such as mdd or bipolar disorders. usually those features like paranoia are short lived, but if it continues to bother you be sure and let your doc. know.
i hope this helps.
