DSM-III diagnostic criteria for schizotypal personality disorder
At least four of the following:
- Magical thinking, e.g. superstitiousness, clairvoyance, telepathy, 'sixth sense', 'others can feel my feelings' (in children and adolescents, bizzare fantasies or preoccupations);
- Ideas of reference;
- Social isolation, e.g. no close friends or confidants, social contacts limited to essential everyday tasks;
- Recurrent illusions, sensing the presence of a force or person not actually present (e.g. 'I felt as if my dead mother were in the room with me'), depersonaization or derealization not associated with panic attacks;
- Odd speech (without loosening of associations or incoherence), e.g. speech that is digressive, vague, over-elaborate, circumstantial, metaphorical;
- Inadequate rapport in face-to-face interaction due to constricted or inappropriate affect, e.g. aloof, cold;
- Suspiciousness or paranoid ideation;
- Undue social anxiety or hypersensitivity ro real or imagined criticism.
Word? I have like 3 of thems. What does that make me? I always do things half-assed.
