if I say the phrase personality disorder
what do you think of psychopaths and
serial killers people like john gacy
we're the fictional Patrick Bateman from
American Psycho even those who are well
versed in psychological disorders like
depression anxiety and schizophrenia may
have a shallow understanding of
personality disorders which can
contribute to the stigmas that are
attached to them
and while psychopaths II falls under a
particular personality disorder
antisocial personality disorder there
were actually 10 personality disorders
in the DSM V if you're interested in
learning more about personality disorder
we're sharing a quick crash course for
you Preston alley disorders are defined
as a type of mental disorder in which
you're thinking functioning and behavior
are rigid and unhealthy these unhealthy
traits can cause significant problems
and limitations and relationships social
activities work school and other
situations the DSM sets our criteria for
10 personality disorders and these
disorders are grouped into three
clusters or categories clusters a II and
C cluster a is considered the odd
eccentric cluster and consists a
paranoid personality disorder schizoid
personality disorder and schizotypal
personality disorder people in the
cluster often behavior in strange ways
and main particular struggle with social
situations paranoid personality disorder
have you ever had feelings of paranoia
or seemed someone walking behind you was
following you for someone with paranoid
personality disorder they often have
extreme feelings of paranoia they feel
everyone is out to get them and are
hyper aware of danger they mistrust
others and often don't get close to
people for fear that person will hurt
them schizoid personality disorder do
you know someone who is a bit of a loner
or who seems to touch from others people
with schizoid personality disorder take
the idea of being a loner to the extreme
it is characterized by social detachment
and restricted emotions they prefer saw
- - other's company but they tend to
miss social cues and come across as cold
or aloof schizotypal personality
disorder this one is similar to schizoid
with one key difference do you know
someone who believes in odd things
fairies magic things that are otherwise
considered strange one of the key
features and schizotypal personality
disorder is a so called magical thinking
they're often awkward in social
situations much like those with schizoid
personality disorder but also
experienced perceptual and cognitive
distortions as well as displaying
erratic behavior this person our
disorder is likable to the more
well-known condition schizophrenia they
are very closely linked with a lot of
overlap when we need that portrays
schizophrenia which we recommend is the
movie A Beautiful Mind from 2001 due to
the overlap this gives you an idea of
what people with a schizotypal diagnosis
are like cluster B is considered the
dramatic cluster and consists of
borderline personality disorder
histrionic Personality Disorder
narcissistic personality disorder and
antisocial personality disorder people
in this cluster often behavior in
dramatic ways which can lead them to
struggle to maintain stable
relationships borderline personality
disorder do you have a friend who seems
to switch opinions on people very
quickly or experiences mood swings and
instability these are key features from
the next personality disorder which
seems to be the most common people with
borderline have a big problem with
instability both in moods and in their
sense of self
they may also tend to engage in risky
and possibi havior like drugs and
self-harm seeing the world in black and
white can also influence them to engage
in splitting which is when their
feelings towards a person swings
drastically borderline personality
disorder is portrayed in the film Girl
Interrupted the main character is
diagnosed with borderline personality
disorder after a suicide attempt and the
film focuses on her stay in a mental
institution
his
Yanik personality disorder we all know
someone who loves being the center of
attention right and thrives in the
spotlight people with histrionic
disorder take this to the extreme they
tend to excessively show their emotions
and are very uncomfortable when they are
not the center of attention they also
tend to be easily influenced by others

center of attention at parties in class

w w sy t go cha narcissistic personality
disorder this is a term we've all heard
people talk about having met narcissists
in their lives very often but what does
that mean to truly have narcissistic
personality disorder narcissistic
personality disorder sufferers have an
inflated ego they feel they are somehow
special and unique they also tend to be
preoccupied by fantasies of power and
have a powerful sense of entitlement
they are devastated by normal human
limitations and their self-worth can
rapidly fall if they encounter these
limitations there are a few characters
with a diagnosis of this in film but
there are many characters you could fit
the bill for example Miranda Priestly in
The Devil Wears Prada or all the snow
and forgetting sarah marshall have been
suggested by some to have npt you also
find articles on NPD often portraying
assist as abusers it's important to
remember not all people with NPD are
abusive and not all abusers have NPD
antisocial personality disorder this is
another personality disorder people have
often heard about you might have heard
it by the names psychopathy and
sociopathy the main issue in antisocial
personality disorder is an utter lack of
empathy they tend to disregard others
feelings and can often engage in
criminality they also tend to be
impulsive and typically don't
feel remorse for their actions as
previously mentioned serial killers such
as John Casey
or fictional killers such as Patrick
Bateman are examples of people with
antisocial personality disorder however
not all people with antisocial
personality disorder go on to become
killers or even break the law clusters D
is considered the anxious cluster and
consists of avoidant personality
disorder dependent personality disorder
and obsessive-compulsive personality
disorder people in this cluster often
behave in very anxious ways impacting on
their lives greatly avoidant personality
disorder do you know someone who seemed
to completely avoid others or who
sensitive to criticism and feels
rejected often these are some of the key
characteristics of avoidant personality
disorder the individual may be extremely
sensitive to criticism and have chronic
fear of rejection due to this they tend
to completely avoid social situations
and social relationships like with
schizoid personality disorder the often
come across as a loner but unlike
schizoid personality disorder they have
no desire to make friends they have a
chronically low self-esteem and don't
feel good enough they may be a student
in your class he never seems to
contribute or a co-worker who takes
every bit of criticism to heart
dependent personality disorder do you
know someone who seems to depend on
others he needs a lot of attention and
care from people as the name suggests
people with dependent personality
disorder have a strong need to be taken
care of the often come across as very
clingy and they intensely fear losing
their relationships in their lives you
might have heard people say they have
co-dependent relationships this very
well could fall under dependent
personality disorder

likes to get their own way obsessive
compulsive personality disorder is like
this but to the extreme

personality disorder are obsessed with
order control and getting things done
