Being the big psychology geek that I am, I find the topic of "personality disorders" interesting. Have you ever wondered if you're imagining things, or if someone you know is somewhat "off?" Well, according to Psychology Today personality disorders, "are estimated to affect about 10 per cent of people." The percentage could be even higher because diagnosis is partly subjective. Personality disorders are not as concerning as the psychotic diagnoses, but they "lead to significant impairment" according to Psychology Today. Odds are some of our friends and/or family are struggling with a mild "condition" and can't actually function any better. (Check out "Personality Disorders" online, if you're curious about someone you know. Very interesting reading).
