Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description of Eva's behavior suggests features of schizotypal personality disorder, which is characterized by eccentric behavior, odd beliefs, and difficulties in establishing close relationships. Paranoid and antisocial personality disorders do not involve the same level of perceptual and cognitive distortions as schizotypal personality disorder, while schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder characterized by symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thinking that are different from the features described in the question.
