What is the name of the disorder in which a person avoids human contact at all costs?
You may have to choose the one that fits your expectations the best. There's Social Anxiety Disorder (used to be Social Phobia), in which there intense fear and avoidance of interactions with other people and most, if not all, social situations. There's Schizoid Personality Disorder, in which there's not so much fear as indifference towards social interactions. There's Avoidant Personality Disorder, in which the person does not feel confident in various social situations and prefers to avoid, mostly for fear of rejection or disapproval.

Reply:Sociopaths generally are very popular with their peers, and can be witty and clever, but they don't care about or for other people, they generally have contempt for other people, although im not sure this is what you mean.

Anxiety Disorders


--------------------------------------...


Etiology





Agoraphobia can develop out of simple phobias or it can be a result of extreme trauma, although it is often a result of numerous panic attacks such as those found in panic disorder.


--------------------------------------...





Agoraphobia, like other phobias, is made up of extreme anxiety and fear. Different from other phobias, however, is the generalization which occurs. Agoraphobia is the anxiety about being in places where escape might be difficult or embarrassing or in which help may not be available should a panic attack develop. It can be sub diagnosed as either 鈥榳ith鈥?or 鈥榳ithout鈥?panic disorder (see above). Typically situations that invoke anxiety are avoided and in extreme cases, the person may never or rarely leave their home.

Treatment





Treatment may involve anxiety reduction techniques aimed at increasing the control a person feels over his or her anxiety and fears. Other approaches require the individual to work through their anxiety in relation to interpersonal or childhood issues.

Prognosis





Prognosis is good, especially if the individual has some insight into the development of the disorder and if their fears are irrational and there is insight into this.
