Various Personality Disorders A Mini Review

Currently psychiatrists tend to use a system of diagnosis which identifies ten types of personality disorder. Suspicious Paranoid personality disorder Schizoid personality disorder Schizotypal personality disorderEmotional and impulsive Antisocial personality disorder ASPD Borderline personality disorder BPD Histrionic personality disorder Narcissistic personality disorderAnxious Avoidant personality disorder Dependent personality disorder Obsessive compulsive personality disorder OCPD Each personality disorder has its own set of diagnostic criteria. To get a specific diagnosis you must meet some of these criteria. The minimum amount you need to meet is different for different types, but it should always be more than one or two. If you meet criteria for more than one type this may be called mixed personality disorder. It is also possible to get a diagnosis without meeting the full criteria for a specific type. This is known as personality disorder not otherwise specified PD NOS or personality disorder trait specified.
