Schizotypal personality disorder

[ヾ(^▽^)ノ -Chippy]

People with schizotypal personality disorder do not usually have psychotic symptoms.

Between 30% and 50% of people with schizotypal personality disorder also have a major depressive disorder. A second personality disorder, such as paranoid personality disorder, is also common with this condition.

Yeap.. that would make sense.. I probably have this...

Schizotypal personality disorder is nothing like schizophrenia :club:

It's not even a neurological disorder.. It's a personality disorder.

Just saying, also which did you just summarize?

 

[nerdygirl]

It's not quite right to say that it's nothing like schizophrenia. The two are similar enough that people can confuse them. It's just that on a scale of one to ten, schizotypal personality would be a five, and schizophrenia would be a ten.

psychotic = hallucinations in various forms.

Also delusional disorder is another disorder on the schizophrenic spectrum without hallucinations, but it has the delusion aspect of it.
