Schizoid Personality Disorder

Schizoid personality disorder is characterized by being uninterested in close relationships and showing little emotion. Individuals with this disorder typically choose to be alone, do not care about praise or criticism from others, and are withdrawn and emotionally cold.

Symptoms of schizoid personality disorder may include:

A lack of interest in social or personal relationships
Preferring to be alone or working in solitary environments
Limited range of emotional expression
Inability to find pleasure in most activities
Difficulty picking up normal social cues
Being emotionally cold towards others
Little or no interest in sexual relationships
Difficulty expressing emotions
Unphased by praise or criticism
Having no close friends
Being preoccupied with introspection and fantasy

How is Schizoid Personality Disorder treated?

Psychotherapy, specifically cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can help individuals change thoughts regarding social situations and alter reluctance to participate in social relationships. Furthermore, psychotherapy can help an individual learn how to develop closer interpersonal relationships.
