Coping and support
Though schizotypal personality disorder is lifelong, some symptoms may improve over time through experiences that help foster — among other positive traits — self-confidence, a belief in one's ability to overcome difficulty and a sense of social support.
Factors that appear most likely to help reduce some symptoms of this disorder include:
- Positive relationships with friends and family
- Healthy daily rhythms, including having a schedule, a good sleep routine, exercise and consistency with taking prescribed medications
- A sense of achievement at school, at work and in extracurricular activities
