2. Risk Factors
Some mental health conditions carry more risk factors than others. For people with schizoid personality disorder, the only noteworthy element that may put them at a higher rate of occurrence is if a close genetic relative also has it.
A tumultuous or particularly stressful childhood and upbringing may result in a person developing schizoid personality disorder. The nature versus nurture theory applies to many mental health conditions that are categorized as personality disorders.
