I always read about psychology, so I knew about personality disorders since long time.

Always thought I was schizoid.

Some months ago I asked to the psychiatrist I was seeing to treat my insomnia if he does evaluation to see if I fitted in any PD criteria, he derived me to a psychologist.

I told her I just wanted to know if I had or not in any personality disorder, asked her how many sessions would take, she said 5.

I made some tests on every session. So at the end schizotypal it was.
 
Good that you asked your psychiatrist, there's a danger in filling out online questioner's, this because it can lead you confused about your diagnosis, it's good to have someone outside assessing you, but i assume that you already know that.

Anyhow an anecdote about Schizotypal. A doctor assessed that i had that diagnosis when i was admitted to a mental ward. The thing was i was assessed to by an investigation to have Autism.

When i was assessed i got to fill a lot of questioner's, and i mean a a lot before i was referred to a physiologist.

For me personally i find it strange that they have not made and investigation about the cause of your insomnia, this is an assumption on my part, correct me if am wrong.

Anyhow that's my cent's

The cause of my insomnia was already pretty clear, and I talked with the psychiatrist about it.

But thanks for concern.
