Not only is bullying the masterpiece of the paranoiac, but the delusional contagion acting under its impulse degrades the mental health of all members of the bullying group.

Paranoiac delusion has the particularity of being contagious... In this context, the psychological mechanisms at work are notably the collusion between the melancholic core of the paranoiac and the traces of unresolved pathological mourning in the "paranoee". One of the most essential mysteries to be solved in the field of the human psyche lies in the delusional contagion of paranoia. In fact, the only delusion capable of operating by contagion is paranoiac delusion...

The fanaticization of adolescents and young adults raises the question of what, in the psychic processes at work at the heart of our Western societies, incites them to this. Adolescence is a key initiatory moment, the one where the individual learns autonomy, that is to say the capacity to internalize universal moral laws within himself to make them his own, in order to free himself from the grip of his impulses. It is important to clarify that these moral laws are not relati

Faced with psychological suffering such that it causes intense distress, the person will try to resolve this conflict of loyalty, and this resolution can occur in two ways: a conflict of loyalty with a neurotic type of resolution, and a regressive conflict of loyalty, with a psychotic type of resolution.

It will be a question here of deepening the consequences of paranoia on the protective parent of the child, the risks incurred by the latter and the children themself, in particular, in case of disagreement on the guarding of the child.

Paranoiac delusion is very difficult to detect, because of its apparent normality and its "reasoning" dimension, it is nonetheless very dangerous for children who are exposed to it. The prognosis of a cure of the paranoiac is almost none-existent, this pathology continuing to increase with time, the rigidity of the psychic structure and the rejection of any psychiatric follow-up by the person (who, according to his delirium, thinks himself invested with a mission, thinks that

It is about making familiar the phenomenon which is perceived as strange, therefore suspicious. Not only is "natural evidence" no more, but worse. What was obvious becomes the object of very clear suspicions; the obvious becomes persecutory. The report of experience is biased by intuition itself, by an excess of intuition. The paranoiac intuits, behind the slightest sign, or the slightest absence of sign, persecution. His conscience is "superintuitive", it intuits, everywher

It took me a while to write this short piece; its complexity led me back to the subtle, sophisticated, paranoiac distortion of language and to the biblical episode of "The Tower of Babel": believing they speak the same language, humans no longer understand each other, and divide. And the more I delve into my reflections, the more I realize that it is primarily language that paranoiac psychosis destroys in order to dissociate humans and lead them to kill each other.

Paranoia infiltrates religions to create mystical illusions that will serve its own materialistic and imperialistic interests.

Today, there is a trend, a divide, an ideology: that of "conspiracy theorists" and "anti-conspiracy theorists". Conspiracy theorists are "those who see conspiracies everywhere", and anti-conspiracy theorists are those who denounce conspiracy theorists. This is yet another way to shut down all debate and, above all, to prevent people from thinking about the obvious.

In these somewhat troubled times in France, I propose a philosophical reflection on the notion of Reason of State, before the next brief which will deal with "the psychiatrist and the politician" (can the psychiatrist, even if he wished to, abstract himself from the political field?).
