The term "schizo" is greek for"split mind". People sometimes confuse this with multiple personality, but that is misnomer. There are a lot of psych dianoses with "schizo" in it. Schizoid, Schizotypal, Schizoeffective...it gets confusing. The best advice I give you is to consult the DSM, which gives a complete criteria of all psych dianoses.

i think he was stating that the synptoms of schizoid and the negative symptoms of schizophrina are the same. which in may ways they are.
depenpending on your status in life docs will give them out accordingly. there the same damn thing. lol
