Schizoid personality disorder (scpd)

[PussyCat]

Schizoid personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of detachment from and general disinterest in social relationships and a limited range of emotions in interpersonal relationships. Diagnosis is by clinical criteria. Treatment is with cognitive-behavioral therapy.
(See also Overview of Personality Disorders.)
In schizoid personality disorder, the ability to relate to others meaningfully is limited.
About 3.1 to 4.9% of the general US population have schizoid personality disorder. It is slightly more common among men. Schizoid personality disorder may be more common among people with a family history of schizophrenia or schizotypal personality disorder.
Comorbidities are common. Up to half of patients have had at least one episode of major depressive disorder. They often also have other personality disorders, most commonly schizotypal, paranoid, borderline, or avoidant.
