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

Migraines

Narcolepsy

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

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?
