Everything about Schizotypal personality disorder

Mental disorder involving eccentricity and social isolation in afflicted individuals

Schizotypal personality disorder, also known as schizotypal disorder, is a mental disorder characterized by thought disorder, paranoia, a characteristic form of social anxiety, derealization, transient psychosis, and unconventional beliefs. People with this disorder often feel pronounced discomfort in forming and maintaining social connections with other people, primarily due to the belief that other people harbor negative thoughts and views about them. People with StPD may react oddly in conversations, such as not responding as expected, or talking to themselves. They frequently interpret situations as being strange or having unusual meanings for them; paranormal and superstitious beliefs are common. Those with the disorder often score high on measures for self-disorder. Wikipedia →
