7. Treatment & Management
Only a mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist, can properly diagnose and treat a schizoid personality type. Cognitive and behavioral therapy may prove helpful in attempting to assist a person with the diagnosis to assimilate into a more socially structured life.
More men than women are diagnosed with a schizoid personality. Some studies also suggest that as the brain ages, the symptoms that negatively impact the patient’s life will wane. Thus, a person diagnosed in their 20s may become more social decades later.
