schizoid personality disorder

Schizoid personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by a persistent pattern of detachment from social relationships and a limited range of emotional expression. Individuals with this disorder often prefer solitary activities, find it difficult to relate to others, and may seem emotionally cold or indifferent. They typically do not seek out close connections or enjoy social interactions, not because they fear them, but because they lack interest. The condition is enduring and can impact daily life, though it does not usually involve hallucinations or delusions like other psychotic disorders.
