paranoid schizophrenia
in DSM–IV–TR, a subtype of schizophrenia, often with a later onset than other types, characterized by prominent delusions or auditory hallucinations. Delusions are typically persecutory, grandiose, or both; hallucinations are typically related to the content of the delusional theme. Cognitive functioning and mood are affected to a much lesser degree than in other types of schizophrenia. This subtype has been eliminated from DSM–5.
