Schizoid personality disorder   

Overview | Symptoms | Treatment

Treatment

People with this disorder rarely seek treatment. The treatment can be difficult due to their initial reduced capacity or desire to form a relationship with a health professional.

Prognosis

People with this disorder are able to function in everyday life, but will not develop meaningful relationships with others. Controversially, there is some evidence to indicate that schizoid personality disorder may be the beginning of schizophrenia, or even a very mild form of it.

Complications

Lack of social interaction is the most important complication.
