Is Being Suspicious A Disease?

Hi my partner is an angle but for the last 2 months he is not normal every single week on a wednesday or thursday he will start fighting with me over nothing what so ever for example he will ask me things like who msgd you last night and when i tell him my friend he goes nutts and he always says im over with you its a pattern every week like i said a wed or thur it will start and in about 3 or 4 days we will make up thnks to me i always the one to make the first move. i no he doesnt mean it cause he has 50 beautiful things about him but only 3 things i dont like about him.

this is a sickness.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are quite distressed about your partner's suspicious behaviour. Now suspiciousness can be due to a variety of reasons, and in some cases, it can be due to a psychiatric disorder also. Some of the common causes of being suspicious are insecurity, personality disorder, paranoid delusions, etc.

Since this problem seems to be occuring very frequently and causing you a lot of distress, I would suggest that you take him to a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation. In case, it is due to a psychiatric disorder, then he would need medication and counselling to help him overcome this problem.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
