Explanation:
I found this:

"Le trouble des interactions sociales se définit par des difficultés de communication verbale et non-verbale du patient souffrant de schizophrénie. La communication non-verbale peut être entravée par des perturbations de la mimique et de la gestuelle:

- un parasitisme mimique: expression faciale discordante par rapport au contexte;"

This definition, to me, seems to fit the definition of "paramimia" in English (see references)
