Its known by who? By armchair psychologists? Paranoia is a 
symptom of mental illness not a cause in itself. And paranoid 
delusions vary from person to person, they dont generally think 
other people are mentally ill.

There are many causes, genetic, environmental, gut bacteria, 
autoimmune disease. There's cases of people who have had their 
gut bacteria replaced to deal with other health issues who have 
suddenly been cured of their OCD for example. A lot of gut 
bacteria consume or produce neurotransmitters for example. Brain 
inflammation is another cause, a big area of research at the 
moment.

The point is most of these causes are not down to prehistoric 
brain circuits, it's genuinely other causes. Or a mix of all 
these things together.

You are vastly over simplifying a very complex issue.

Also there's no way we can know how much of a modern problem it 
is because we've only seen mental illness as an illness for a 
couple of hundred years. So we have no idea whether it is more 
prevalent now that it was a thousand years ago.

The idea that "crazy" is catching is idiotic, sorry.
