Schizoid personality disorder is more common in men, especially if they are schizophrenia or personality disorder schizotypal. The causes of the disorder are not fully understood.
Schizoid personality disorder usually begins to manifest in early adulthood in various types of situations.
However, during childhood or adolescence, schizoid disorder may manifest itself in the form of solitude and weak relationships with people of the same age.
People with schizoid personality disorder prefer to be alone, spending much of their time isolated, without social contact or interaction with others.
They appear to be socially inept, superficial and completely absorbed in their own world, since they do not seek social interactions and rarely respond to attempts to approach other people. They do not exhibit emotions with little or no facial expression or even gestures about what they are feeling.
In addition to affecting social and personal relationships, schizoid personality disorder may impair one's professional activity, especially if the job requires direct contact with other people. On the other hand, if you work alone, you can have a good income and stand out in what you do.
The treatment of the disorder is done with psychotherapy and psychiatric medications.
