Something cool. I solved it in 3 hours. Heh.

Math test

Our abnormal psychology lecture today (yesterday) was on schizoid personality disorder, where the disordered individual is more or less a recluse, participating only in solitary activity and experiencing little in the way of mood change, either positive or negative.

If someone with those symptoms feels no distress, can he really be called "disordered"? He's not causing anyone harm. He still contributes in a positive way to society (although limited in the type of job he could succeed in). No deficits in intelligence, industry or anything much else. What's the big deal with diagnosing someone like that? Doesn't the mental healthcare industry have anything better to do?
