Most of these patients are likely exhibiting some spectrum of antisocial behavior, which means staying indoors or generally away from other people.

I don't think it's as interesting as it seems. I'm rather certain there's a sensible explanation.

That is not at all what "antisocial behavior" means. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-social_behaviour

Right. I learned that in the UK there is even an Anti-social Behavior Order (ASBO), essentially a catch-all law for people exhibiting these behaviors (which apparently spans all kinds of stuff from graffiti to littering). No comment as to the rightness or wrongness of this, but there it is.

It’s in the DSM, which is published by the American Psychiatric Association.

But you knew what I meant.

In hindsight I should've clarified that my opinion originates from a layman. I am not a doctor or psychiatrist or anything of the sort.

Thanks for the correction!
