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

Fever

Why is there a lack of affordable housing in the USA despite a surplus of empty homes?

Pharmaceutical drug (abuse or side effects)

Infection

Seizures
