A social disorder is a type of psychiatric condition that includes social deficits and affects social functioning. 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.
Oxytocin receptor agonists, like oxytocin and LIT-001, are of theoretical interest in the potential medical treatment of social disorders.
