Hello Ayad, and thanks for your query. Having dfficulty in trusting people and suspiciousness can be due different causes. It can be due to person's personality - such as a paranoid personality or due to psychiatric disorders like psychosis. In your case, since you seem to be having a understanding into your problem, it is unlikely to be due to a psychotic disorder. So, it is more likely that you are having paranoid personality traits which are causing you to suspect and mistrust your girlfriend. In such a case, the treatment for your problem would be psychotherapy (counselling). I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist in your place and go for regular psychotherapy sessions. It would also be a good idea to discuss about your problem openly with your girlfriend so that you avoid relationship problems.Regards,Dr. Jonas SundarakumarConsultant Psychiatrist
