Is It Possible To Suffer From Both Schizoid Personality Disorder And Mania?

Can a person have schizoid personality disorder and also be manic? He always has high energy and he had become interested in a developing a computer program that he believed would make him a millionaire, even though he did not know a lot about computer equipment and software programs. When asked about the computer program, David became very irritable. He accused everyone of not wanting him to be successful. David admitted to not having a girlfriend or any male friends. However, he felt that nothing was really wrong with his behavior.
