There aren't any that uniformly or routinely work. Even if you can get a family member to bring sufferers in, they don't stick around. This means that we don't have much data on treatment. There doesn't appear to be anything that works routinely. Occasionally under great stress a paranoid person can actually get almost delusional. In other words, their paranoia can reach unreasonable and unrealistic heights. At that point, maybe low-dose anti-psychotics might be helpful for cooling off some of that, but they will still remain rather suspicious and distrustful.
