Q. I began having serious problems controlling my emotions about a year ago. I got very depressed missed a lot of work, lost interest in everything. My diagnosis was borderline personality disorder. Paxil (40mg/day) seemed to be helping with my moods, but I was doing destructive things like taking OTC sleeping aids, occassionally cutting myself to see how it felt, binging and purging, and using alcohol to escape. The sleep aids became a consistent problem. My psychiatrist refused to continue working with me if I didn't control their use and reduce the Paxil to 20mg/day. This made me more depressed, so I took more pills. I'm finally feeling more stable with a new doctor who has me taking Serzone - currently 400mg/day. I started at a lower dosage in early May and worked up to 400 by 5/28. I'm still having mood swings. I'm still crying and feeling worthless.

Personality Disorders Personality refers to a distinctive set of traits, behavior styles, and patterns that make up our character or individuality. How we perceive the world, our attitudes, thoughts, and feelings are all part of our personality. People with healthy personalities are able to cope with normal stresses and have no trouble forming relationships with family, friends, and co-workers. fact she et index What is a Personality Disorder? Recognizing a Personality Disorder A personality disorder must fulfill several criteria. A deeply ingrained, inflexible pattern of relating, perceiving, and thinking serious enough to cause distress or impaired functioning is a personality disorder. Personality disorders are usually recognizable by adolescence or earlier, continue throughout adulthood, and become less obvious throughout middle age. What Causes a Personality Disorder? Types of Personality Disorders There are many formally identified personality disorders, each with their own set of behaviors and symptoms. Many of these fall into three different categories or clusters:

106. Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder And Obsessive-Compulsiveness UNDERSTANDING borderline personality disorder AND OBSESSIVECOMPULSIVENESS. BorderlinePersonality Disorder was officially recognized as a diagnosis in 1980. http://faculty.ncwc.edu/toconnor/428/428lect17.htm

UNDERSTANDING BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER AND OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVENESS As opposed to psychopaths, sociopaths, and antisocials who are afflicted with a disease of detachment, borderlines and the obsessive-compulsive are afflicted with a disease of attachment . People with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) are pathologically attached to persons, places, and things so much that, like antisocials, they block out any other person's right to an opinion, and in some cases, even another person's right to exist. As with all personality disorders, there's a disinhibition of violence. Both BPD and OCD are more often diagnosed in females than in males, although not exclusively so. Female serial killers who act as "Angels of Mercy", for example, would suffer from BPD, as might anyone who attempts to right the world's wrongs, seek revenge or payback. Aileen Wuornos, for example, was diagnosed by a prison neuropsychologist as being a perfect case of BPD. Jeffrey Dahmer's sexual behaviors were characterized by another psychiatrist as displaying OCD. It's important not to confuse OCD (the personality disorder) with obsessive compulsive anxiety disorder (the anxiety disorder). It's the anxiety disorder most people are thinking of when they characterize obsessive-compulsiveness as irrational rituals (repetitive housecleaning, handwashing, book organizing, etc.)

Personality Disorders Table of Contents The Dark Side Acronyms Psychotics Paranoid Schizoid Schizotypal Extraverts Antisocial Borderline Histrionic Narcissistic Neurotics Avoidant Dependent Obsessive-Compulsive References ... Home Personality disorders are ways in which personality persistently causes problems for oneself or others. Irregular emotions are a component of many personality disorders, which suggests a relation to Basic Emotions . One approach to understanding personality disorders is Psychoanalysis The Dark Side of Personality Among non-psychologists, it is common to confuse personality disorders with psychological disorders generally (i.e., psychopathology), when in fact personality disorders are only one variety of psychopathology. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV , American Psychiatric Association, 1994) distinguishes disorders like depression and schizophrenia (Axis I disorders) from personality disorders (Axis II disorders). Although there is a great deal of overlap among these different kinds of disorders (e.g., borderline personality disorder often occurs with depression, and personality disorders often occur together), it is probably worthwhile at least to be aware of the conceptual distinction. Personality disorders, by definition, are disorders of personality. Consequently, they are typified by early onset and pervasive effects. Nevertheless, there are treatments that can help those with personality disorders learn to cope with their distinctive problems in living.

Subscribe now >> Borderline Personality Disorder Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious mental illness characterized by pervasive instability in moods, interpersonal relationships, self-image, and behavior. This instability often disrupts family and work life, long-term planning, and the individual's sense of self-identity. Originally thought to be at the "borderline" of psychosis, people with BPD suffer from a disorder of emotion regulation. While less well known than schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness), BPD is more common, affecting 2% of adults, mostly young women. There is a high rate of self-injury without suicide intent, as well as a significant rate of suicide attempts and completed suicide in severe cases. Patients often need extensive mental health services, and account for 20% of psychiatric hospitalizations. Yet, with help, many improve over time and are eventually able to lead productive lives. Symptoms While a person with depression or bipolar disorder typically endures the same mood for weeks, a person with BPD may experience intense bouts of anger, depression and anxiety that may last only hours, or at most a day. These may be associated with episodes of impulsive aggression, self-injury, and drug or alcohol abuse.
