Trastorno esquizotípico de la personalidad - Symptom

Síntomas:

Las personas que padecen el trastorno esquizotípico de la personalidad pueden estar muy perturbadas y su comportamiento extraño se puede parecer al de las personas con esquizofrenia. Por ejemplo, también pueden tener preocupaciones o miedos inusuales, como el miedo de ser vigilados por agencias gubernamentales.

Sin embargo, es más común que las personas con este trastorno se comporten de una forma un poco extraña y que tengan creencias inusuales (por ejemplo extraterrestres). Estas personas se aficionan tan fuertemente a estas creencias que esto les impide entablar relaciones interpersonales.

Las personas con el trastorno esquizotípico de la personalidad se sienten perturbadas por su dificultad para entablar y mantener relaciones interpersonales estrechas. Esto es diferente de las personas con el trastorno esquizoide de la personalidad, que no desean entablar relaciones interpersonales.
