schizotypal is a personality disorder and not really a psychotic disorder. it is somewhat on the border to schizophrenia. it is more on neurosis than psychosis...
are you sure you are saying schitzotypal or schizo typical- typical schizo means you have schizophrenia with all the typical symptoms. But there is Strong evidence in studies that say Schizophrenia can be caused by a lack of the essential fatty acids. These are cheap @ Walmart it is fish oil and borage oil mixed with a flax seed oil, please give this a try, no side effects unless you are allergic to fish. and you will feel better.
