Schizoid Personality Disorder is a form of a personality disorder where an individual will avoid social interactions and express a limited display of emotions. This individual may prefer to spend time alone and struggle to maintain interpersonal relationships.

This can be perceived by others as uninterest in relationships, although this isn’t necessarily true. Some of the symptoms of this disorder include little desire in intimacy or sexual relationships, difficulty experiencing pleasure, difficulty appropriately expressing one’s self, difficulty finding humor, appearing indifferent to others, and not reacting to praise or critical remarks from others.

These symptoms appear to be lifelong and often difficult to adjust. We are available to provide diagnosis and treatment. Treatment consists of medication management to address any anxiety or depression caused by the disorder as well as psychotherapy and group therapy.

Together we will identify trouble areas and work at building skills to better engage with the world. We understand your need for space and appreciate the work we can do together because we know that opening up to others may be difficult. We are excited to work with you and begin the journey to living differently!
