Hello, I am new to the forums. I am not sure if I have schizotypal, but both my psychologist and psychiatrist admitted to thinking I had mild "psychotic features" to my personality. I've had this theory that I am schizotypal for awhile now. Some of the symptoms I have had that match the diagnostic criteria are:
Suspiciousness or paranoid ideation
(I am paranoid ALOT, I am always thinking others are talking about me).
Lack of close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
(Really don't have friends, I don't make an effort to make friendships, either.)
Social anxiety that tends to be associated with paranoid fears rather than negative judgments about self
(Well, I do negatively judge myself, but I have an extreme amount of paranoid fears that are pretty baseless.)
So, how big are the chances that I have schizotypal?/What should I bring up to my mental health doctors to test for this?
PS: I apologize if any part of this message is incoherent, I am withdrawing from prescribed medication and feel awful.
