Consistent with [Schizoid Personality Disorder] [specifier(s)]. Since early adulthood, there has been a longstanding pattern of detachment from social relationships; lack of desire for close relationships; preference for solitary activities; minimal interest in sexual experiences with others; limited pleasure in activities; restricted emotional expression; appearing indifferent to praise or criticism; emotional coldness, forming a pattern meeting the threshold for a persistent schizoid personality structure. The presentation is further characterised by a pervasive and stable trait pattern across social, occupational, and interpersonal contexts, not confined to discrete episodes. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant interpersonal and occupational impairment.
