People who have this delusion of persecution feel that someone or a group is out to hurt them. Despite the lack of evidence, they are adamant that this is the case.

Though paranoia and persecutory delusions are connected, they are strictly distinct mental states. Exhibiting paranoia is characterized by excessive distrust and mistrust of others.
Here's how to tell the difference between paranoia and persecutory delusion:
- Paranoid: My spouse is going to murder me, I'm afraid. I can sense it. My partner might poison me at any time. I think I need to leave the house!
- Persecutor: My spouse is poisoning me! I'm suffering from food poisoning. My spouse is definitely killing me!
