cord-348246-prwg2wvm	Gabriel, Andrade	The role of psychiatrists in addressing COVID-19 conspiracy theories	2020-09-01		.txt	text/plain	1201	64	46	Research has established that people who are prone to accept conspiracy theories are predisposed to suffer from Paranoid Personality Disorder (Darwin et al, 2011) . People with Schizotypal Personality Disorder are frequently uninterested in meaningful social relationships, but they tend to compensate that by having a rich inner mental life; in this endeavor, they may fantasize with conspiracy theories, and ultimately come to believe them very strongly. People who accept already circulating conspiracy theories are not necessarily pathological, but people who come up with such theories in the first place, are more likely to suffer from mental disorders. Therefore, even if belief in conspiracy theories about COVID-19 is not necessarily pathological, one effective way of (at least partially) eradicating such beliefs is by contributing to a more robust public mental health.	./cache/cord-348246-prwg2wvm.txt	./txt/cord-348246-prwg2wvm.txt
