How is maladaptive daydreaming related to other mental abnormalities?

Like boderline personality disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder?

I imagine Posttraumatic Stress Disorder correlates highly with MDD.

In the studies we've seen so far, there's a possible connection between maladaptive daydreaming, ADHD and OCD. But I suspect there could be several more links. Schizoid and avoidant personality disorders also seem to have a few things in common with MD. This might mean that maladaptive daydreaming is a symptom of a larger issue rather than a disorder on its own, but it's hard to say. Since maladaptive daydreaming is still a bit of a mystery, we're speculating at this point.
