F21: Schizotypal disorder

Your behavior, mood and thoughts are different than usual.

Your behavior can seem strange to others, for example. You may seem cold and unapproachable. You might withdraw from your environment. You can become very mistrustful and express unusual opinions. You may brood deeply. One’s perception may also change. You might see, hear or feel things that are not really there.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
