"Schizotypal disorder refers to eccentric behaviour & unusual thinking & affect which resemble those seen in schizophrenia but w/o definite & characteristic schizophrenic abnormalities"
Is this you? You don't come across as 'odd'.
I still say personality disorders & the like are all too commonly dx'd in England, when really the patient has treatment-resistant depression, inadequately treated by the limited armaments @ the disposal of the NHS.
I for example, loosely fit the criteria for a no. of personality disorders, particularly Schizoid & Borderline. However this is just a result of the way my depression manifests itself. I have no p. disorder! However the fact that under normal circumstances, my symptoms are *very* stable, makes it look as such.
*Personally*(!) speaking, I don't pay a blind bit of notice to what psychotherapists say; they have had plenty of opportunity to f*ck with my head already. I don't care for their theories one bit, but each to their own I guess...
What do you think about it all? I wouldn't be over the moon...
