* The ''Series/StargateSG1'' episode "Shadow Play" returned to the home nation of Jonas Quinn, Kelowna on the planet Langara. Diplomatic relations between Kelowna and the SGC are rocky, and SG-1 makes contact with a scientist who claims to be a part of the local resistance planing to overthrow the government. The SGC is interested, especially since the resistance is offering an enticement of a large amount of naquadriah as an incentive, but they ultimately discover that there is no resistance at all. Due to exposure to naquadriah he has developed advanced delusional schizophrenia and hallucinated the entire conspiracy (an interesting case where the patient thought himself one of the conspirators).

* Jack Hodgins discovers he has a brother in a mental institution on ''{{Series/Bones}}''. Jeffery has a “schitzoaffective disorder”, which is a real life umbrella term for the category of disorders. As expected, he’s paranoid. He thinks Hodgins is a spy at first and talks about “seeing past the static.” At times he’s fine, but he has uncontrollable paranoid outbursts.
* One episode of ''Series/BurnNotice'' ("Signals and Codes") has Team Westen helping a paranoiac who approaches them insisting that his boss is an alien who plans to ruin the lives of several people in preparation for an invasion -- and while his insistence that the boss is an alien is a RunningGag, he is right about the "ruining lives" part because said boss is planning on selling out a list of undercover operatives to the highest bidder.
* Averted on ''Series/{{Cracked}}''. Of the numerous schizophrenics on the show, only one is paranoid and only two (including the paranoid) have been violent.
* Diana Reid, the mother of Dr. Spencer Reid from ''Series/CriminalMinds'', has been a paranoid schizophrenic most of her son's life. She's a brilliant academic, but also believes the government is after her, accuses her son's FBI co-workers of being fascists, and sporadically lectures about her field of expertise (15th-century literature) to either her fellow mental institution patients or students created from her own mind. Because schizophrenia carries a risk of genetic heredity, Reid fears ending up like her someday in the future.
** Before this reveal, it's implied that growing up with her helped Reid to empathize with another paranoid schizophrenic -- who'd taken a train car hostage believing that all his fellow passengers were government agents -- and talk him down. Or at least try to.
* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' even has a doctor get it wrong. A schizophrenic goes off his meds, and without knowing anything about his medical history, she says that after a few days he'd "start seeing the world as a very hostile place." Of course, she's [[TheCoroner a medical examiner]], not a psychiatrist, but still...well, it's [[ArtisticLicense CSI]].
* The famous Piranha Brothers episode of ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' implies this trope in the case of Dinsdale Piranha, a mentally-ill gangster harbouring the paranoid conviction that he's being stalked by a giant hedgehog named Spiny Norman. Only implied, because Dinsdale is never specifically identified as schizophrenic.

* Jack Hodgins discovers he has a brother in a mental institution on ''{{Series/Bones}}''. Jeffery has a “schitzoaffective disorder”, which is a real life umbrella term for the category of disorders.
