Many people find themselves being misdiagnosed because some of the criteria for schizotypal personality disorder overlaps with what they are really struggling with. Some of the diagnostic criteria are: Those with this disorder struggle in social situations and have a hard time with interpersonal relationships. They also have cognitive and perceptual distortions which can lead them to doing odd things, because they see and think things that others do not. In addition to this they must have at least 5 of the following 9 symptoms. \n1. Ideas of reference. This means that they believe everything happening to them has some sort of significance (ie. this is all leading me to my destiny, or this is my fate, etc). \n2. Odd beliefs or magical thinking. Meaning that they have these sets of beliefs that are not related to their culture or religious beliefs. Magical thinking is when we believe we have a sixth sense or that we can see the future. They may also believe that they have magical control over others (thinking that the reason you are opening the door for them is because they thought of it and thought you should do that). \n3. Unusual perceptual experiences. This may be that they say they can sense someone nearby or that they hear someone murmuring their name. They will perceive things that someone without this disorder would not. \n4. Odd thinking and speech. Can be very vague or speak in riddles. They may also be very tangential meaning they get off topic and we can’t tell what they are talking about anymore. \n5. Suspiciousness or paranoid ideation. Meaning it’s hard for them to trust anyone. They are suspicious of everything and everyone. \n6. Inappropriate or constricted affect. This means that the facial expressions we would expect do not happen. They may appear flat (showing no emotion at all) or laugh when everyone else is shocked. \n7. Behavior or appearance that is odd. Since they are suspicious or everyone and perceive things that are not there, of course they act a bit odd!\n8. Lack of close friends other than first degree relatives. This makes sense if we are suspicious of everyone, speak and look differently it can be hard for us to connect with others. \n9. Excessive social anxiety that doesn’t diminish with familiarity. I also think it’s important to note that these symptoms are not due to a medical condition or a change in medication. Those changes can cause symptoms such as these and we need to rule those causes out.
