Schizoid Personality Disorder
Schizoid personality disorder is in the class of personality disorders
in which the person lives in a fantasy world. People thus
afflicted are introverted, withdrawn, live a solitary life and have no
desire for social relationships. This condition is rare and has
the lowest representation in personality disorders. The people are
indifferent to proper social norms and conventions, have no close
friends, and are not affected by praise or criticism.
Unless adverse consequences result from this condition, those with
it seldom seek help, usually because they are content with their
condition. If adverse consequences do result, the people should receive
therapy from a therapist experienced in personality disorders. There
are many options and the therapist should select the type of treatment
that is best for the specific problem.
Regardless of the treatment selected, a healthy lifestyle will not
only benefit this condition but almost any health problem. For more
