Social disorder
A social disorder is a type of psychiatric condition that includes social deficits and affects social functioning.[1][2] Examples of social disorders include social phobia (social anxiety disorder), autism spectrum disorders, schizophreniform disorders like schizophrenia and schizoid personality disorder, and certain other personality disorders.[1][2]
Oxytocin receptor agonists, like oxytocin and LIT-001, are of theoretical interest in the potential medical treatment of social disorders.[2][3]
