OBJECTIVE: Schizophrenia, commonly develops in adolescents and young adults and Paranoid is the most common type. Newly progress in molecular biology and imaging techniques has enabled new insight into schizophrenia research. Recent research reveals the key roles of D3, D4 and D5 dopamine receptor in presenting types of schizophrenia, particularly the paranoid. The purpose of this study was to the evaluation of D5 along with D3 dopamine receptor expression in schizophrenia patients. METHOD: 96 venous blood from 51 drug-free, 15 naive and 30 healthy were prepared and their expression level of mRNA for D3 and D5 dopamine receptor were investigated based on β-actin expression as housekeeping gene. RESULTS: D3 expressed about 33.3%, 73.3% and 27.4% in healthy, naive and drug-free patients respectively, but D5 just expressed in 86.6% of healthy samples and none of the patients were expressed D5. CONCLUSION: Expression frequency of D3 and D5 dopamine receptor reveals significant differences between naïve and drug-free patient against healthy individuals. D3 and D5, both have the possible potential for almost more accurate diagnosis usage, and the severity of the disease could be related to the D5 dopamine receptor. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…In clinical terms, paranoia is conceptualized as a symptom frequently associated with schizophrenia, delusional disorder, and borderline and paranoid personality disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 2013 ). These diagnoses tend to evaluate paranoia as an abnormal outcome of an unstable psyche, whose psychiatric diagnosis has been clinically captured in its central definition as “[a] pervasive and unwarranted mistrust of others” (Vyas and Khan, 2016 , p. 9). However, critics of psychiatry have rejected the core assumptions that the paranoid subject’s realities are simply false, idiosyncratic, and resolute (Cromby and Harper, 2009 ; Harper, 2008 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has produced a collective paranoia which is not only driven by our psychic anxiety but also mirrors the irrationality of the crisis and the failure of global governance. During such catastrophic times, in which the state has failed to create a sustainable civil society, scholars such as Melanie Klein, Silvan Tomkins, and Eve Sedgwick have theorized the ways in which we may turn paranoia away from its destructive tendency toward a reparative practice of relationship-building and collective action. I discuss the limits of a clinical approach to paranoia and propose a reparative practice of the global psyche toward social transformation, especially in relation to the rise of anti-Asian violence during the pandemic.
