Minimal Paranoid Ideation
Expressions activating this band contain little to no persecutory or externally controlled content and are typically focused on unrelated health, social, environmental, or general stress topics. When suspicious content appears, it is weak, indirect, or not clearly organized around being targeted by others.
Mild Paranoid Ideation
Expressions activating this band reflect early suspiciousness or vulnerability, including unusual perceptual experiences, psychosis-related references, or diffuse concern that something is wrong. The content suggests possible threat or altered reality testing without a clearly developed persecutory belief.
Moderate Paranoid Ideation
Expressions activating this band describe a definite sense that other people are against the person or that thoughts are being interfered with or controlled by an outside force. The suspicious or externally controlled belief is explicit and personally directed.
High Paranoid Ideation
Expressions activating this band center on purposeful harm, plotting, or intentional trouble caused by others. The content presents persecution as deliberate and targeted rather than vague unease.
Severe Paranoid Ideation
Expressions activating this band portray intense persecutory conviction, such as being followed, spied on, harmed, or trapped in organized conspiracies. The belief in hostile surveillance or coordinated attack is concrete, personalized, and strongly asserted.
