Can certain diseases cause paranoia similar to that seen in individuals with paranoid schizophrenia, even if they do not have the disorder?

Dementia with Lewy bodies

Dementia and drug use cause paranoia. That is very common. Some of other things that can include delusions and/or hallucination can be:

Withdrawal from benzodiazepines

Alcohol withdrawal

Affective disorders

PTSD

Hallucinogen use

Some of those things on the list are very very rare cases but I just wanted to cover everything (or almost everything).

Grief (yes, sadly)

As a NATO/Ukraine supporter, since you're so blown away and angered by Trump putting Zelensky in his place yesterday, why don't you support the Ukraine by joining the Ukrainian army? There's 200,000,000+ of you. Put your money where your mouths are.

Mental disorder

Brain Tumors

Stress

Alzheimer's disease,

Sleep disorders

Delirium tremens

Artists get better with age, e.g., painting. Yet when it comes to pop music, the famous work tends to be written when musicians are in their twenties. So, why aren't Bob Dylan or the Stones banging out amazing tunes now?

Pharmaceutical drug (abuse or side effects)

Migraines

Fever
