Schizoid-Narcissist Affective Disorder

Schizoid-Narcissist Affective Disorder is a mental disorder described by the Shturmovik culture as leading to psychosis and social dysfunction. It is heavily politicized and in many ways is similar to Autism Spectrum Disorder. It is regularly referred to simply as schizoid. It may include a fantasy prone personality and incidents of psychosis. Schizoid-Narcissists are considered by the Shturmovik Party to have a high risk of developing a self destructive path with the possibility of random acts of violence. As such sufferers are monitored by the NKOB and considered a danger to themselves and society. The KVD has altruistic motivations in helping cure people with Schizoid-Narcissism, because sufferers are seen as prisoners in their own minds.

Quirkiness and nerdiness

One of the most common symptoms is the display of quirkiness and nerdiness. It has been extensively documented by explorers of the Red Army that the emergence of quirkiness and nerdiness in a society is one of the most reliable pre-collapse indicators of a civilization. In every collapsing civilization, geekiness became celebrated. Geeks become obsessed with nebulous philosophical theories that provide comfort for taking part in worldly pleasures. They also become increasingly disconnected from other people and suffer from extreme dysphoria without being aware of it. Eventually they seclude themselves into virtual reality where their civilization is destroyed by Der Feind am Tor.
