It has been almost a full 6 days since this person posted this. I wonder if they are coming back. maybe they will check it in a week. It's always bewildering when they never come back.....
Anyway, I am suspicious of diagnosing someone so young with it,but if they seem to have severe withdraw and adhedonia and it's not exactly looking like depression then I would highly consider diagnosing them anyway.
It's plausible that it is simply asperger's but I am guessing that there had to be something in the evaluation to even come up with schizoid.
Could be severely depressed ? Not sure. Mn.......Can't say. Can only give advice on the information given at the start.
Though to the op, always get a second opinion. Especially for something like a personality disorder. They can be very confusing unless they are just obvious.
