Any advice? i have been diagnosed with a schizoid personality/thought disorder?

Good doctor: I suppose one key point would be to have a good relationship with your treating doctor. You should feel listened to, that you have enough time to get your questions answered, and your doctor is responsive. Doubts? Get a 2nd opinion. There are additional resources via the internet - NIMH, NAMI, and other official and accountable medical websites. Best wishes and know you arent alone,

Very little: Schizoids don't believe they suffer from anything, and rarely show up in our consulting rooms because of it. Occasionally they will seek therapy because they are told by a parent, typically, that they need treatment, which is confusing to them for they are perfectly happy to be by themselves the overwhelming majority if the time. In such cases the therapy is more about the person who sent them.

A thought disorder: is a significant issue that merits treatment. A schizoid personality disorder may not necessitate treatment unless highly motivated to change. For thought disorder recommend good compliance with a treatment program that includes seeing a psychiatrist as well as non-pharmacological treatment. Antipsychotic medications are likely to be indicated.
