Although definitely schizoid personality disorder is sometimes precursor of schizophrenia, whether it contributes the maximum among all the personality disorders, is not found..

It is c/b a persistent pattern of social withdrawal..

DSM-IV diagnostic criteria are:

A. A pervasive pattern of detachment from social relationships & a restrictd range of expression of emotions in interpersonal settings, beginning by early adulthood & present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by 4 or more of the following

1) Neither desires nor enjoys close relationships, including being part of a family
2) Almost always chooses solitary activities
3) Has little, if any interest in having sexual experiences with another person
4) Takes pleasure in few, if any, activities
5) Lacks close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
6) Appears indifferent to the praise or criticism of others
7) Shows emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affectivity

B. Does not occur exclusively during the course of Schizophrenia, a Mood Disorder With Psychotic Features, another Psychotic Disorder, or a Pervasive Developmental Disorder & is not due to the direct physiological effects of a general medical condition.

If criteria are met prior to the onset of Schizophrenia, add 'Premorbid', e.g. 'Schizoid Personality Disorder (Premorbid)'.

Low-dose antipsychotic medication is useful in some situations.. sometime antidepressents & psychostimulants.. psychotherapy..
