Medicines are not normally advised for schizoid personality disorder.
They are occasionally used for short-term treatment of extreme anxiety states linked with the disorder.
The presence of anxiety, normally caused by fear of other people, may indicate that a diagnosis of the linked schizotypal personality disorder is more fitting.
Personal therapy that effectively obtains a long-term level of trust helps in certain cases of schizoid personality disorder by giving patients a channel to change their false perceptions of friendships into true relationships.
Personal psychotherapy can form a true relationship between the patient and therapist.
Social skills training is an essential component of treatment.
