Zaburzenie osobowości schizotypowe
Epidemiologia

Zaburzenie osobowości schizotypowej (STPD) charakteryzuje się zmiennym rozpowszechnieniem, szacowanym globalnie na około 3,9%, z różnicami zależnymi od regionu i metodologii badań (np. 0,6% według DSM-5, 0,044% według ICD-10 w Szwecji). Występuje nieco częściej u mężczyzn (4,2% vs 3,7% u kobiet według NESARC). STPD wykazuje wysoką współchorobowość z zaburzeniami ze spektrum autyzmu (ASD), OCD, ADHD, ciężką depresją (67,6% pacjentów), zaburzeniami lękowymi i innymi zaburzeniami osobowości z klastra A. Zaburzenie jest często niedodiagnozowane w populacjach klinicznych (do 1,9%), co wynika m.in. z niskiej skłonności pacjentów do poszukiwania pomocy. Czynniki socjodemograficzne, takie jak niski status ekonomiczny, bezrobocie i brak stałych związków, korelują z wyższym ryzykiem STPD.

Epidemiologia zaburzenia osobowości schizotypowej

Zaburzenie osobowości schizotypowej (schizotypal personality disorder, STPD) jest stosunkowo rzadkim zaburzeniem psychicznym, które pozostaje niedostatecznie rozpoznawane i zbadane, mimo jego istotnego wpływu na funkcjonowanie pacjentów12. Dokładna ocena rozpowszechnienia tego zaburzenia jest wyzwaniem, ponieważ brakuje wysokiej jakości badań epidemiologicznych3.

Rozpowszechnienie na świecie

Dane dotyczące rozpowszechnienia zaburzenia osobowości schizotypowej znacznie się różnią w zależności od badania i regionu geograficznego:

  • Szacowana ogólnoświatowa częstość występowania wynosi około 3,9%45
  • W populacji amerykańskiej, według National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Disorders (NESARC), rozpowszechnienie w ciągu życia wynosi również około 3,9%6
  • Badania społeczne wykazują zakres od 0,6% w próbie norweskiej do 4,6% w próbie amerykańskiej78
  • Niektóre źródła podają rozpowszechnienie na poziomie 3-5% populacji ogólnej910
  • Według badań z wykorzystaniem kryteriów ICD-10 w populacji szwedzkiej, STPD stwierdzono u zaledwie około 0,044% populacji1112
  • Według DSM-5, częstość występowania tego zaburzenia wynosi około 0,6%13

Różnice w raportowanym rozpowszechnieniu mogą wynikać zarówno z rzeczywistych różnic geograficznych, jak i z odmiennych metodologii badawczych stosowanych w poszczególnych badaniach14.

Rozkład według płci

Zaburzenie osobowości schizotypowej wykazuje niewielkie różnice w częstości występowania u mężczyzn i kobiet:

  • Według badań NESARC, rozpowszechnienie jest nieco wyższe wśród mężczyzn (4,2%) w porównaniu do kobiet (3,7%)1516
  • DSM-5 sugeruje, że zaburzenie może być nieco częstsze u mężczyzn17
  • Niektóre badania szwedzkie wskazują na prawie równe rozpowszechnienie u mężczyzn i kobiet18
  • U kobiet obserwuje się związek z zespołem łamliwego chromosomu X19

Populacja kliniczna a populacja ogólna

Zaburzenie osobowości schizotypowej jest rzadziej diagnozowane w populacjach klinicznych niż w badaniach społecznych:

  • W populacjach klinicznych raportowane wskaźniki sięgają do 1,9%2021
  • W próbach ambulatoryjnych rozpowszechnienie szacuje się na mniej niż 1%22
  • Rzadkość diagnozy w populacjach klinicznych może wynikać z faktu, że osoby z tym zaburzeniem rzadko same poszukują leczenia23

Czynniki socjodemograficzne

Badania wykazały związek między zaburzeniem osobowości schizotypowej a pewnymi czynnikami socjodemograficznymi:

  • Wyższe rozpowszechnienie wśród osób o niższym statusie socjoekonomicznym2425
  • Częstsze występowanie wśród osób nigdy niebędących w związku małżeńskim, rozwiedzionych, w separacji lub owdowiałych26
  • Zwiększone wskaźniki bezrobocia i korzystania z pomocy społecznej2728
  • Szczególnie wysokie rozpowszechnienie wśród osób bezdomnych korzystających z ośrodków wsparcia, wraz z innymi zaburzeniami osobowości z klastra A2930

Współchorobowość i związki genetyczne

Zaburzenie osobowości schizotypowej charakteryzuje się wysokim poziomem współchorobowości z innymi zaburzeniami psychicznymi, co może wpływać na przebieg choroby i odpowiedź na leczenie31.

Współistniejące zaburzenia psychiczne

Osoby z zaburzeniem osobowości schizotypowej często cierpią na inne zaburzenia psychiczne:

Związki genetyczne

Zaburzenie osobowości schizotypowej jest coraz częściej postrzegane jako zaburzenie ze spektrum schizofrenii, co potwierdzają zarówno podobieństwa fenomenologiczne, jak i liczne dowody naukowe42:

  • Zwiększone występowanie wśród krewnych osób ze schizofrenią4344
  • Wyższe wskaźniki występowania u bliźniąt jednojajowych niż u dwujajowych (33% vs 4% w jednym z badań)45
  • Osoby z STPD wykazują znacznie podwyższone genetyczne ryzyko schizofrenii46
  • Drugi najwyższy genetyczny wynik ryzyka u pacjentów z STPD dotyczy zaburzeń ze spektrum autyzmu47
  • Badania wskazują na ważne powiązania etiologiczne z ASD i, w mniejszym stopniu, z ADHD, OCD i ciężką depresją48

Przebieg i rokowanie

Zaburzenie osobowości schizotypowej jest zazwyczaj stabilne w czasie, ale może prowadzić do poważnych zaburzeń funkcjonowania49. Przebieg choroby i rokowanie zależą od wielu czynników:

Stabilność i progresja

  • Zazwyczaj przebieg jest stabilny w ciągu życia jednostki50
  • Około 15% pacjentów z STPD rozwija schizofrenię w ciągu 8-letniego okresu obserwacji51
  • Wskaźniki konwersji z STPD do zaburzeń ze spektrum schizofrenii wahają się między 20% a 40%, w zależności od długości okresu obserwacji52
  • Pacjenci mogą rozwinąć krótkotrwałe zaburzenia psychotyczne, zaburzenia typu schizofrenii lub zaburzenia urojeniowe53

Czynniki predysponujące i ochronne

Zidentyfikowano czynniki, które mogą zwiększać lub zmniejszać ryzyko progresji do schizofrenii:

  • Czynniki predysponujące:
    • Płeć męska54
    • Genetyczne ryzyko schizofrenii55
    • Diagnoza STPD w warunkach stacjonarnych56
    • Urazy prenatalne, takie jak ekspozycja na wirusa grypy57
    • Trauma z dzieciństwa i przewlekły stres58
    • Czynniki genetyczne, takie jak polimorfizm COMT Val158Met59
  • Czynniki ochronne:
    • Współchorobowość z zaburzeniami ze spektrum autyzmu60
    • Współchorobowość z ciężką depresją61

Wpływ na funkcjonowanie

Zaburzenie osobowości schizotypowej wiąże się ze znaczącymi trudnościami w funkcjonowaniu:

  • Istotne upośledzenie w co najmniej jednym głównym obszarze funkcjonowania i obniżona jakość życia62
  • Niższe wskaźniki zatrudnienia63
  • Historia pracy na stanowiskach o mniejszej złożoności poznawczej w porównaniu do osób bez STPD64
  • Znaczna niepełnosprawność, wynikająca z zaburzeń w relacjach społecznych i interpersonalnych65

Nadzór i wyzwania diagnostyczne

Właściwa diagnostyka i monitorowanie zaburzenia osobowości schizotypowej stanowi wyzwanie dla systemów opieki zdrowotnej66.

Wyzwania diagnostyczne

  • Zaburzenie pozostaje niedostatecznie rozpoznawane i niedostatecznie badane67
  • Pacjenci rzadko sami poszukują leczenia, co utrudnia wczesne rozpoznanie68
  • Częste diagnozy różnicowe obejmują inne zaburzenia osobowości, takie jak osobowość z pogranicza, zespół deficytu uwagi (typ nieuważny), fobia społeczna i zaburzenia ze spektrum autyzmu69
  • Możliwe naddiagnozowanie w Rosji i innych państwach postsowieckich70

Wytyczne leczenia

Pomimo badań nad STPD, wciąż brakuje zaleceń opartych na dowodach dotyczących diagnostyki i leczenia71:

  • Krajowe i międzynarodowe wytyczne leczenia zaburzeń ze spektrum schizofrenii (np. APA, NICE, WFSBP) nie omawiają tego tematu72
  • Specyficzne wytyczne dotyczące zaburzeń osobowości poświęcają niewiele uwagi STPD73
  • Leczenie farmakologiczne często obejmuje:
    • Atypowe leki przeciwpsychotyczne, które zmniejszają lęk i objawy przypominające psychozę74
    • Leki przeciwdepresyjne, które mogą łagodzić lęk społeczny u pacjentów z STPD75
  • STPD jest zaburzeniem przewlekłym, wymagającym leczenia przez całe życie76

Nieleczone zaburzenie osobowości schizotypowej ma zazwyczaj niekorzystne rokowanie, z wysokim ryzykiem rozwoju innych zaburzeń psychicznych i znaczącym upośledzeniem funkcjonowania społecznego i zawodowego77.

    The concept of schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) emerged from observations of personality characteristics common in relatives of schizophrenic patients. While often studied in family designs, few studies and none with genetic measures, have examined SPD in epidemiological samples. […] SPD was rare, with a prevalence of 0.044%, and had high levels of comorbidity with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), OCD, ADHD, and major depression (MD), and increased rates of being single, unemployed and in receipt of welfare. […] Our results not only support the designation of SPD as a schizophrenia spectrum disorder but also suggest potentially important etiologic links between SPD and ASD and, to a lesser extent, ADHD, OCD, and MD. […] Using the Swedish medical and genealogical registries, we examined the genetic epidemiology of SPD as diagnosed by ICD-10 criteria. Of the many findings reported here, eight are noteworthy and are discussed in turn. First, SPD, as diagnosed in a clinical setting by a physician, was a quite rare disorder, diagnosed in around 0.04% of the Swedish population with a nearly equal prevalence in males and females.

While often studied in family designs, few studies and none with genetic measures, have examined SPD in epidemiological samples. […] SPD was rare, with a prevalence of 0.044%, and had high levels of comorbidity with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), OCD, ADHD, and major depression (MD), and increased rates of being single, unemployed and in receipt of welfare. […] Our results not only support the designation of SPD as a schizophrenia spectrum disorder but also suggest potentially important etiologic links between SPD and ASD and, to a lesser extent, ADHD, OCD, and MD.

    The prevalence of STPD has been described as ranging from 0.6% in a Norwegian sample to 4.6% in an American sample. Men (4.2%) are more often affected than women (3.7%). Common differential diagnoses are other PDs such as the borderline personality disorder (BPD), attention-deficit disorder (inattentive type), social anxiety disorder, autism-spectrum disorder, and dysthymia. Comorbidities can complicate the disease course and treatment responses, and several studies focus on interventions for patients with comorbid obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and BPD. […] Despite these research efforts, evidence-based recommendations are still lacking for the diagnosis and treatment of STPD. National and international treatment guidelines for schizophrenia spectrum disorders (e.g., from the APA, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry (WFSBP)) do not discuss this topic, and specific guidelines for personality disorders pay only little attention to STPD.

    The prevalence of STPD has been described as ranging from 0.6% in a Norwegian sample to 4.6% in an American sample. Men (4.2%) are more often affected than women (3.7%). Common differential diagnoses are other PDs such as the borderline personality disorder (BPD), attention-deficit disorder (inattentive type), social anxiety disorder, autism-spectrum disorder, and dysthymia. Comorbidities can complicate the disease course and treatment responses, and several studies focus on interventions for patients with comorbid obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and BPD. […] Despite these research efforts, evidence-based recommendations are still lacking for the diagnosis and treatment of STPD. National and international treatment guidelines for schizophrenia spectrum disorders (e.g., from the APA, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry (WFSBP)) do not discuss this topic, and specific guidelines for personality disorders pay only little attention to STPD.

    Prevalence is estimated to be 3-5% of the general population, however this is difficult to study since those with the disorder rarely seek treatment and it is uncommon in clinical settings. […] The ratio of men to woman is unknown, however DSM-5 suggest the disorder may be slightly more common in males. There is also an association in females with fragile x syndrome. […] Relatives of patients with schizophrenia show a higher incidence of schizotypal PD than among control participants, especially when schizotypal features were not associated with comorbid mood symptoms. There is also a higher incidence among monozygotic twins than among dizygotic twins (33 percent vs. 4 percent in one study). […] Other factors that may increase risk include prenatal insults such as influenza exposure, childhood trauma, chronic stress, and certain genetic factors (COMT Val158Met polymorphism).
