Re: Help... Please... Question...

Hi Inside,

I have never heard of Psychoid Personality Disorder before but have heard of Schizoid Personality Disorder. I was wondering if you may have just misspelled the word in your post or whether you misunderstood what the doctor said. I am not a mental health professional so I honestly don't know about Psychoid Personality Disorder but if you cannot find any information on it (and neither can I), you may want to clarify with your doctor.

Sorry I can't be of more help but as I said, I think talking to your doctor again would be a good idea.

This sticky thread here on Psychlinks may help explain Schizoid Personality Disorder

Here is also a link on Psychology Today's website on Schizoid Personality Disorder which may help as well.

Thanks... It was nice to see it explained so simply... won't be cured that simply... but add that to my PTSD after 19 years of police work... I may as well... never mind...
