One of the symptoms listed in the ICD-10 but not in the DSM-V is "obsessive ruminations without inner resistance, often with dysmorphophobic, sexual or aggressive contents".
Great summary, this is one of very few videos I have discovered that describe schizotypals without bias or upsetting examples that are incorrect; it makes those with it terrified to be honest or seek treatment. Doctors I admire very much, get it wrong and the lack of insight available is baffling- seems very interesting to study and understand an eccentic personality disorder... Thank you for being invested, interested and understanding.
I was once very close to someone who definitely fits these behavioral descriptions. They had a horrific childhood and an awful mother and stepfather (I saw them throw fits a few times; I'd wager five figures on her being a far-end malignant narcissist). They were very disconnected to reality and obsessed with Alice in Wonderland, to the point of insisting that they were from Wonderland (also they insisted Slenderman was their real father; no I'm not kidding). I remember they seemed so betrayed and broken-hearted when I insisted (VERY gently) that neither Wonderland nor Slenderman are real-life things. I felt so cruel for not indulging the fantasy. It was like I'd stolen something from them. They basically wouldn't talk to me for a few days after that. Can't say I blame them, really; Slenderman and/or the various denizens of Wonderland probably would've provided a more loving environment than the people he was stuck with. I'd have warped my reality too
I was told that magical thinking is a coping mechanism for people with STPD. They try to control themselves and their disorganized thoughts and emotions by believing in special powers or great fantasies. So it's actually necessary to let them believe this shit bc it's the only way they feel like having control over themselves. As far as I know therapists don't try to take it away from them in therapy and let it just be. I'm not an expert but I think you did something really stupid there. :D
I just missed any new input on the subject... Every doctor on youtube has only stated the basics... Patients dealing with this disorder need more ground covered so that they can discover more.
Out of all the PDs, I find schizotypal to be the most difficult to get an in-depth understanding of. These ‘perceptions’ that occur with certain events etc - are they a delusion/ altered reality, or is the person aware that there is some falseness to these perceptions? And is distrust the core reason for their thought behaviours and patterns?
Thank you for your question. Difficult to answer in a sentence. I don’t think they are delusions, more perceptions as quite often the person can be open to new information and new perspectives. There may also be distrust however (personally) I don’t believe it to be a core reason. More a case of not having a frame of reference. Just my thoughts though
As someone who has it . I personally now it isn't real but it's so draining and exhausting when the altered state of reality is happening. Like I don't see objects I get filters . Like every thing is moving or warping if it's a full panic state and cloudy(dark clouds). As for my thought behavior I have ADHD and borderline traits aswell. So it just a mess some days like I can't focus cuz someone texted me I didn't like so I won't text anyone on the same app for a few days to weeks. Not like I have many people to talk to anyway cuz everyone just scares me . Like I can't read their brain and think everyone might be out to kill me. I have a reason for everyone of those thing but alot is trauma based and how I was told to act. So I won't dive to deep to why's.
Ideas of reference is not delusions of reference. They know that what they are thinking might sound absurd but that's how they genuinely feel about things and because of that they are in a constant conflict between what they feel is true and what they think is true.
My symptoms are Sensing a presence in the room, even though there's nobody there, and sometimes having a full-blown conversation with somebody who I can't see, but I feel that is there the presents in the room tells me I have to dress weird act weird I just be eccentric and I can't make friends. Kids at school used to tease me because we would be in class, and I would look at the wall and have a conversation with the wall because I sent somebody was in the wall of the school it's kind of like having invisible friends that you can't control. I remember having this disease ever since I was in first grade, and in first grade I was very shy I didn't talk to anybody because I thought I was so different I didn't deserve to talk to anybody.
Darren Magee, psychologists like you aren't Schizotypal yourself, and you know about us only from textbooks. I will give you first-hand insights. Schizotypals are made, not born. We are the product of all of the hurtful experiences people gave us. You said we "lack empathy". We were actually pretty outgoing and social and empathetic, until we suffered psychological and emotional abuse from people. We have learned that it's unnecessary to exercise so much empathy. Narcissists prey on empathetic people. You said we "fear being bullied or teased," we have "persistent and excessive social anxiety," and "find it hard to form relationships." That's right, we have learned about the reality the hard way: People in this world are nasty, hurtful bullies. Once we realized how evil people in this world are, we find it hard to get close to people. You said we "find it difficult to trust others, and misinterpret other people's motives." That's because we don't know who could be the next person to give us psychological and emotional abuse. You said we have "Incorrect interpretation of events. Misread cues, tones of voice, facial expressions and suspect mal intent." That's because we learned it the hard way through life experience that people can be very 2-faced, manipulative, wolves in sheep's clothing... and they don't admit that they are. You said we have "suspicious or paranoid thoughts, and constant doubt about the loyalty of others." We can never blindly and naively trust people, after going through the abuse we've been through. The last time we foolishly let our guard down, we had open ourselves up to abuse from people. We have learned it the painful way that human beings are very fake, and capable of the most hurtful betrayal. Bad, toxic experiences from abusive people have made us who we are and how we are.
Wow, I came to this video for interest, but now am pretty sure I have Schizotypal Personality Disorder because I fit most of those criteria. I have a bunch of other Disorders also so it's not the greatest thing to find out but it is what it is.
Make sure that you’re not self-diagnosing. Some disorders have overlapping symptoms. Also, some disorders can only be diagnosed if the symptoms aren’t already caused by another disorder. I know that it’s been a while since you commented, but how are you doing?
*Casually worried I have this due to everyone in my family having a PD or schizophrenia or bipolar.* Hears all criteria and relates to every one as if being called out. "Oh no."
Thank you! You are the first proffessional Therapist who makes a video about this, not only reading the icd/dsm criterias. I would like to see more about this. I've this diagnose and have been looking for videos over a year. Question at the end... Can i get this from toxic relationship? Or do i think, i'm in a toxic relationship because i have it? Thanks a lot

As well explained as always. Thank you for sharing.

It's scary how precise the description. Thank you!
Precise to what loser?

Yeah hes basically just reading the text of the dsm criteria

@@DarrenFMagee oh yeah I have to physically get used to people. I don't want to distrust people. Even with normal things I have to test the waters.

@@FayCreative Yea
I have this. Feel the same way
Spot on!!!!! It’s caused by chronic emotional trauma and abuse.

"Oh no."
Don't covert Narcs often present with this?
They can
rly good video
This seems identical to ASD to me?
Not really, if you truly understand
‼️please share types and places for treatment
Hello what is the correct spelling STPD or StPD?
Is this disorder more prevalent in males?
Thank you! You are the first proffessional Therapist who makes a video about this, not only reading the icd/dsm criterias. I would like to see more about this. I've this diagnose and have been looking for videos over a year. Question at the end... Can i get this from toxic relationship? Or do i think, i'm in a toxic relationship because i have it? Thanks a lot
untrue, dr. tracy marks presents this exceptionally well.
Thank you for your advice.
I never believed I can influence reality with my thoughts. I am not sure wether I am really schizotypal anymore
The more people I see explain this a little differently the more it seems to fit me...
Thank you. Can it be genetic?
It can be although there may also be environmental factors there
