Health & Wellness Series: Is it a Quirk or a Personality Disorder?
“Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, but stigma and bias shame us all.” Bill Clinton
Have you ever known people who behave erratically
and unpredictably? Who don’t seem to care whether
they lie, steal or cheat, or are hurting others, as long as
they get what they want? Who are very self-absorbed
and need an excessive amount of attention? Who are
extremely reactive to criticism? Who seem to feel
things so deeply that their emotional reactions are
overly intense? Who have an excessive need to
control others? Who perceive threats when there are
none? Who go back and forth between distancing
from others and desperately needing them? If so, then
there is a good possibility that you have known
someone who has a personality disorder. After
defining what constitutes a “personality disorder”
and briefly reviewing six of the ten personality
disorders listed in the most recently published
“Manual of Mental Disorders” used by mental health
professionals as a diagnostic tool, Professor Diament
will discuss in greater detail four disorders which
make up cluster B: Narcissistic, Antisocial, Histrionic
and Borderline. PowerPoint slides will be used in the
presentation, and ample time for questions will be
allowed at the end.
