Pseudoneurotic Schizophrenia:

A personality disorder in which there are oddities of thought (magical thinking, paranoid ideation, suspiciousness), perception (illusions, depersonalization), speech (digressive, vague, overelaborate), and behavior (inappropriate affect in social interactions, frequently social isolation) that are not severe enough to characterize schizophrenia.

Synonym: schizotypal personality disorder, latent schizophrenia, incipient schizophrenia, borderline schizophrenia, pseudopsychopathic schizophrenia.
