paranoid schizophrenia
n 1: a form of schizophrenia characterized by delusions (of
persecution or grandeur or jealousy); symptoms may include

are usually presentable and (if delusions are not acted on)
may function in an apparently normal manner [syn: {paranoid
schizophrenia}, {paranoic type schizophrenia}, {paraphrenic
schizophrenia}, {paraphrenia}]
