Activity Description

Schizoid personality disorder is a psychiatric disorder distinguished by detachment from social relationships and a restricted range of emotional expression in interpersonal settings. People with schizoid personality disorder are described as aloof, blunted, isolated, disengaged, and distant. The origins of schizoid personality disorder are complex and involve genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. The diagnosis of schizoid personality disorder is made using criteria described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR). Schizoid personality disorder can adversely affect multiple aspects of life, underscoring the need for early intervention and interdisciplinary care. This activity illustrates the evaluation and management of schizoid personality disorder and highlights the role of the interdisciplinary team in improving care for patients with this condition.
