Cluster a personality disorders:- Includes Paranoid, Schizoid, and Schizotypal

Blog Image

People with Cluster A disorders often seem odd or eccentric, with unusual behaviour ranging
from distrust and suspiciousness to social detachment.

  • Paranoid. These people are suspicious and quick to take offense. They often have few confidants and may read hidden meaning into innocent remarks.
  • Schizoid. These patients care little for social relationships, have a restricted emotional range, and seem indifferent to criticism or praise. Tending to be solitary, they avoid close (including sexual) relationships.
  • Schizotypal. Interpersonal relationships are so difficult for these people that they appear peculiar or strange to others. They lack close friends and are uncomfortable in social situations. They may show suspiciousness, unusual perceptions or thinking, eccentric speech, and inappropriate emotion.
