What Causes A Suspicious Nature?

A suspicious nature can have various causes, just like most other symptoms. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.

Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose a suspicious nature, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "a suspicious nature" as a symptom. Here are two possibilities:

Paranoia
Atherosclerosis

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

heart attack(s) in father

hydrogenated fat consumption

heart disease in family members

Under 1 year above 180 blood sugar

very angry/hostile disposition

schizophrenia in family members

4-6 years at 120-180 blood sugar

very low HDL cholesterol level

low aerobic exercise level

being a motivated person

poor ability to relax

very high LDL cholesterol level

... and more than 10 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of a suspicious nature:

Cause	Probability	Status
Paranoia	99%	Confirm
Atherosclerosis	72%	Possible

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

In the Mind Health section of the questionnaire, The Analyst™ will ask the following question about how suspicious or trusting you are:

Do you tend to be suspicious of other people, or trusting?

Possible responses:

→ I'm always suspicious of people and their motives
→ Often suspicious
→ I'm average, careful / don't know
→ A bit too trusting of others
→ Much too trusting and frequently 'used'

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate either a suspicious nature or a trusting nature, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:

Atherosclerosis

The authors of one study state, "This... study suggests that high hostility levels may contribute to early subclinical atherosclerotic coronary artery disease." According to background information in the study, hostility is a personality and character trait with attitudinal (cynicism and mistrust of others), emotional (anger) and behavioral (overt and repressed aggression) components. [Journal of the American Medical Association. 2000; 283: pp.2546-51]
