What makes people so paranoid?
Answers:
It depends. Various kinds of chemical imbalances can result in paranoia, excess cortisol probably being the most likely candidate.
Paranoia can also be a reasonable response tho, for instance people returning from war zones are often paranoid, but in their case it's a rational response because they've learned through prior experience that such threats are real.
There's probably such a thing as paranoia with an exclusively physiological origin, and such a thing as paranoia with an exclusively social origin - but I'd be willing to bet that in the vast majority of cases it's a combination of the two.
