How do I get help with schizoid symptoms as a teenager? Can I get diagnosed?
Hi im 14 and i have had schizoid symptoms and maybe schizotypal symptoms(?) for a few years now and im wondering if I could get diagnosed? Or maybe just recognized for these traits? Im not sure how to bring this kind of stuff up to a therapist. Or to even bring up the possibility of it in general. I cant really say that I had these symptoms as a child because I dont remember my childhood and from what people say about me I was the opposite
I am diagnosed with ADHD and have been medicated for over a year but I still display these symptoms pretty prominently and it does affect my schoolwork and my life. I do online schooling so I dont get out of the house much. The only prominent emotion I feel is anger and otherwise I dont feel much for other people. Whenever I go to therapy about my really bad anxiety, I can never relate to anything they give me to manage it because I dont really feel that way? I dont know how to explain it. I have looked into autism, but I am not sure of that anymore because I dont really relate to it much. As well as depression, I take care of myself and I don't have any bad thoughts or anything. I have some conduct issues and cluster b traits in general but obviously I cant really say that because im 14 and it might be normal????dunno. I also suspect I probably have OCD because my mom has a LOT of symptoms of it and also schizotypal traits but shes not diagnosed so I cant say for sure. I dont know what to do about it and I feel empty a lot of the time
