Popis: Hikikomori syndrome (HS), a phenomenon characterized by social withdrawal and isolation, has attracted significant attention in both academic and clinical settings. However, understanding the diverse nature of HS remains a challenge due to its multifaceted etiology and presentation. This paper aims to shed light on this phenomenon by examining three representative typologies of HS in clinical settings. Through detailed case analyses, we categorize HS into three main types: HS associated with neurodevelopmental disorders; HS triggered by the onset of mental illness; and HS emerging gradually with age-related challenges. By elucidating these typologies, we provide insights into the complex interplay of psychological, social, and developmental factors contributing to HS, thereby facilitating more tailored approaches for the evaluation of and intervention into this syndrome in clinical practice.
