Schizotypal personality disorder is a pathological condition that belongs to schizophrenic spectrum disorders and is a severe form of borderline psychopathology.
Among the psychopathological conditions associated with personality disorder, specialists of the Russian psychiatric school emphasize magiphrenia or magiphrenic syndrome (from Greek mageia - magic or sorcery and phren - mind, reason) - with the prevalence of concepts and thoughts of a magical nature, which do not fit into the framework of scientific ideas.
The patient does not completely recover, because the withdrawal of psychotropic drugs is always fraught with exacerbations - specific behavior in schizophrenia resumes, regardless of the duration of medication.
There are many theories about this mental illness, and there is an ongoing discussion among psychiatrists of different schools and directions. However, the progression of true schizophrenia is seen by representatives of the American and European schools of psychiatry as unquestionable.
More than a century has passed since the isolation of schizophrenia as an independent disease, but there is still an ongoing debate not only about its nature, but also about its very existence as a separate disease.
Treatment methods for schizophrenia in men are not different from those for women, it is just that men are more likely to be more severely ill and therefore require more powerful neuroleptics in higher doses.
The first signs are usually perceived by the close environment as eccentricities - bad mood, lack of emotions, isolation are not specific signs of schizophrenia alone, and in general mental illness.
Autophobia is a medical term that describes such a mental disorder as the fear of being alone. Other possible names for this disorder are isolophobia, eremophobia, monophobia. We are talking about the fear of being alone, not having a healthy and permanent relationship, losing loved ones.
