Borderline Personality Disorder

People with BPD often engage in idealization and devaluation of others,
alternating between high positive regard and great disappointment.If they sense
any indication of criticism or abandonment, they will completely devalue that
once-idealized person, and may even seek to hurt them.
Other symptoms may include intense anger and irritability, self-mutilation and
suicidal behavior.They typically experience affective instability, chronic feelings of
emptiness, and engage in self-damaging behaviors.
There is an ongoing debate about the terminology of this disorder, especially the
word "borderline".The concern is that the diagnosis of BPD stigmatizes people
and supports discriminatory practices, since it suggests that the personality of the
individual is flawed.
Instability in Emotions and Relationships
Antisocial Personality Disorder

ASPD is characterized by a pervasive pattern of disregard for (or violation of) the
rights of others, a poor moral sense or conscience, history of crime, legal
problems, impulsivity, and aggressive behavior.One of the most important
features of ASPD is the lack of remorse or guilt.
The individual must be at least 18 years old, there must be evidence of Conduct
Disorder with onset before age 15, and the occurrence of antisocial behavior
must not exclusively be during the course of Schizophrenia or a Manic Episode.
ASPD seems to be caused by a combination of both genetic and environmental
influences.Genetic influences draw on the temperament and the kind of
personality a person is born with, and environmental influences include the way
in which a person grows up and the experiences they have had.
Conduct Disorder
Other Personality Disorders in the DSM

Personality disorders are a class of social disorders characterized by enduring
maladaptive patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience, exhibited
across many contexts and deviating markedly from those accepted by the
individual's culture.
The DSM-5 provides a definition of a general personality disorder that stresses
such disorders are an enduring and inflexible pattern of long duration, lead to
significant distress or impairment, and are not due to the use of substances or
another medical condition.
There are 3 clusters of PDs based on common features.Cluster A (odd and
eccentric): Paranoid, Schizoid, and Schizotypal; Cluster B (dramatic, emotional,
erratic): Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic and Narcissistic; and Cluster C (anxious
or fearful): Avoidant, Dependent, and Obsessive-compulsive.
Management and treatment of personality disorders can be a challenging and
controversial area since symptoms are enduring, ego-syntonic, and affect
multiple areas of functioning.
