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]
