1. Causes
At the present time, there is no known cause of schizoid personality disorder. Unlike other mental health conditions, such as depression, little is known about what may cause some people to suffer from personality disorders.
There is disagreement in the medical community over whether personality disorders result from the environment a person is raised in, traumatic experiences, or genetic. Someone with schizoid personality disorder likely has a genetic predisposition to it.
