@MadisonRhea your bpd is not a real mental illness. it is just how you are. your personality is the way you are and putting a name to your personality does not make it an illness. you need to take a long look at yourself and the type of person you are. maybe you will start to see things not there.

My husband is a psychiatrist here in Canada. If he’s doing disability forms for patients, he never puts ‘personality disorder’ (or ‘addictions’) on the form. He will put every other diagnosis such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, developmental issues etc. etc. Putting personality disorder or addiction on a disability application -> ‘Denied’. There’s a lot of stigma and prejudice out there.

That's really sad. It should be considered a disability. In the Netherlands addiction is considered an illness. For example your employer can't fire you for having an addiction. The employer is required to make sure you get proper treatment.

What if someone just feels like he or she wants to be an ahole and doesn't care about anyone or anything else. He or she knows they ought to, or that it is expected of them, to be at least moderately ncie, but they are like "neh, f it, can't be bothered." IS that a personality disorder? Or are you being an ahole? It is difficult to decern the difference, thus the stigma.

All my friends that have personality disorders had unstable and neglectful childhoods, me included. I'm not a professional, but I've seen the most healing come from being in a stable enough place emotionally and physically to work on that childhood trauma and how it affects the way you treat yourself and those around you now. It feels like it takes a whole reality shift, which I think happens through age as well and might be a factor in how personality disorders manifest differently over time.

This is the most insightful comment I've ever seen about PD. In my experience, this is exactly the case. Moreover, I fought for the stability knowing I could use it to fix the roof while the sun was shining. Have been in self-funded therapy for five years. Always knew there was a problem and have always tried to move past it. Have BPD and NPD. Funnily enough, people who know me don't seem to think I'm a bad person. They think I'm a "nice knob" who had had a very painful, difficult life and who always tries to better themselves.

Reality shift ... Or a horrific event whereby you realise that you are the cause of it and then start to research about this whole issue "why am I like that and that". Then a huge can of worms opens and you are confronted with things which happened or didn't happen and should have (emotional neglect) back in your early days. All of sudden you look at yourself in the mirror and ask who are you? Reparation or asking forgiveness or making up - not possible cos that loved one isn't with you anymore. Just pick up the pieces of your broken life and see how to help the rest of the ones around you. Make them aware that it's not their fault that they've developed traits of different disorders but that it's a result of passed down unresolved generational trauma. Wish I knew I wasn't normal some 25 years ago..... Destiny.

My father suffered from Narcissism and like you said, he never got over it, but it somehow was a bit better in his 70s and 80s. He would rage if I ever disagreed with him, but would apologize afterwards. I suspect it's because he didn't want to scare me away in his later years. Once, to my awe, when he was so drunk that he could barely slur his words, he cried and begged for forgiveness for the way he treated me. I was amazed! I didn't think he could ever access his deeper emotions. Perhaps 15 minutes later he returned to his defensive self. The difference was quite amazing..

It’s been shown that people with borderline personality disorder have differences in their brains from people who do not. They have over firing of an underdeveloped amygdala, and under firing of the pre-frontal cortex. This has been shown consistently with brain scans. These seem to be associated with the risk factor of developmental disorders that can be traced back to some sort of abandonment trauma or attachment disorder in childhood during key brain development stages. There is an excellent book that just came out by a brilliant woman who recovered from BPD and has the KZbin channel “Recovery Mum”. Her book is called “The Big Book on Borderline Personality Disorder”. I believe it would be helpful to anyone who suffers from any personality disorder or who loves someone with a personality disorder.

You’re being insensitive. This man can’t help his attitude. Aggression and impatience are hallmark traits of people who suffer from BPD, BorPD, NPD, and other personality disorders. I’m sure he wasn’t trying to be intentionally disrespectful or demanding. Most likely, he’s been enamored with Dr. Marks’ degree of expertise on these topics while binge watching her videos and is desperate for an answer to help himself. Living this life ain’t no walk in the park. We, the worldwide delegation of personality disorder sufferers, regardless of Cluster, aren’t just tempestuous and expulsive little hell raisers on purpose (or without cause). We really do want help from the day to day spiral we live in that we feel incapable of managing. Most just have thee hardest time going about it the right way because calamity and burning bridges is all we know. I actually feel bad for the guy. The tone of his email screams ‘a cry for help’.

@@quentin932 okay, gotta get this off my chest. But why do people keep saying this "doesnt give people the excuse" etc dont you know that most mental disorders and illnesses comes with _lack of insight_ ? Meaning the individual in question cannot usually see what they're doing is wrong or rude. It's a major part of cluster b disorders too: low emotional intelligence. So your attitude its like someone saying "I know you have cancer but... you have no excuse to keep getting sick" and then proceeding to "not excuse" the symptoms of their anguish like that is somehow productive or effective in any other way than to satisfy your resentment? It's clear this guy has a pretty unstable mind that keeps him from being poltie like the rest of us. Its *not* an excuse that says it's okay, its just the reality of his illness which can indeed make you very unpleasant. Such a lack of compassion in these comments smh and its funny cause it's not like other ppl dont know what it feels like to deal with people like this but imo that's no reason to become cold and heartless.

I was diagnosed with bipolar and borderline personality disorder. I wasn't on insurance for a long time and was hospitalized for my illnesses for a week and it only got worse when I left and wasn't able to keep up with my medication. But with practicing mindfulness and CBT, I was able to significantly improve my mindset and be better to the people around me. It's been 2 years since I was hospitalized, I got insurance and used abilify for about 9 months, and then slowly tapered off of it. I'm doing so much better now and my illness rarely interferes with my life aside from anxiety, which I work through. I still occasionally deal with depersonalization, and that is still the one thing I struggle with most. I am planning to go back to a psychiatrist/therapist to help me figure it out though.

02:47 Bipolar disorder doesn't make people hate you. Your underlying personality that comes out full force when you're ill is what makes people dislike you. Your personality is your hardwiring and how you react to the environment. But if you have an illness like bipolar disorder or anxiety, those disorders disrupt your equilibrium and can bring out the negative aspects of your personality even more. But those illnesses themselves don't make people do things to hurt other people.

This is for anyone out there with issues they can't get help with. I was diagnosed with BPD when I was 22. I was also (and still am) a binge eater. When I was 23 I started a gym routine and forced myself to exclusively eat healthier foods. I lost all the weight and am really athletic now at 29. The discipline of a workout and diet routine taught me how to better control my emotions and reactions. And customer service jobs taught me better introspection by recognizing negative behaviors in customers, and not allowing myself to exhibit those same behaviors. You gotta push yourself. Every day. Stop telling yourself you'll do it later. Tell yourself you gotta do it now.

My diagnosis was such a relief because I finally understood why my world would feel like it was literally ending by small triggers and why I could go from zero to a thousand in a second! I’m continually working on improving my life, my reactions to things, and how I move through this world despite my personality disorder and my mood disorders! Edit*** I’ve never had access to DBT but I have been through about five years of CBT and am in a point where I have developed enough strategies and life stability to take a break from therapy. I’m sure I’ll return at some point to work through other traumas but I am beyond grateful for all of the help and treatment I have gotten. It has genuinely changed my life where I feel like this life IS worth living.

I’m still young but thankfully my BPD has burned out a bit- not as intense as it once was- but I still have so many moments where I can’t control my thoughts/reactions. In those moments it feels like an illness. As if I’m vomiting or shaking. That being said, I have a double depression (dysthymia + MDD) and GAD so I’m not always sure where they end my BPD begins. Thank you for your videos.

You’re welcome Christopher. It’s not always easy to distinguish between the mood fluctuations with BPD and dysthymia. maybe with more time you’ll have even less of the moments of feeling out of control. Or maybe the lack of control will feel less intense, kind of like a slow smolder.

I'm the same...sort of. My BPD symptoms were highly prevalent from age 16 to 30. Then as they faded, became less frequent and less intense, I noticed my depression kicked in hugely, almost as some kind of unpleasant replacement. Interestingly, even now at age 42, I really only notice BPD symptom flare ups when I commence a new relationship or intense friendship. It's like I revert back.

I have always been curious about what makes Schizotypal personality disorder a personality disorder and not a mental illness in the way schizophrenia or anxiety disorder is. I've always found it's classification alongside other personality disorders odd, and I was wondering if there was something crucial here I might be missing or if maybe I'm not looking at this correctly. Thank you for making this video, super informative as always!

the primary symptom of schizophrenia is psychosis, it's a change in the brain chemistry (both psychosis and neurosis) while personality traits of people with personality disorder mimic the symptoms of psychosis or neurosis but they are not actually psychosis and neurosis. It's people's personality traits, so in case if with Schizotypal personality disorder, the person is just "odd" in their behavior or temperament, which together are the personality, but they are not experiencing a psychotic episode with delusional believes or hallucinations even though it seems to the outsiders as if they do. Their reality is not split like for people with schizophrenia.

I would personally say, in agreeance with the ICD used mostly globally outside of America, where the DSM is used, that schizotypal is on the schizo spectrum and not a personality disorder, I think the disorder is terribly under researched and there are wells of misinformation out there. Many people with schizotypal experience what I would call “quasi psychosis”, and an almost constant state of warped reality, which is not quite split to the point in schizophrenia, but is not adjacent with common shared reality. Denigrating schizotypal as the “eccentric” personality disorder is a sore misrepresentation to the true experience. Of course this plays to how severe ones schizotypy is, how they may view such, how seriously they take their “ideas of reference”, or how well they are able to play into society, the levels of their anhedonia and so on which I will not ramble about. I hope this was helpful.

I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge, dumbing it down for all of us not experts in the field. I'm going to tell you a little story: my husband is one of those lucky people who don't know what having depression means. In his previous job, he was a superintendent in a company and had the responsibility of 5 ships and its employees. One of them had to sign off during a trip, after having a panic attack, and was home on leave after. Before meeting with him to decide his future in the company, my husband asked me how to approach him and what would I believe to be the best course of action. We discussed at length, showed him a few of your videos, before he made an informed decision. So, thank you so much, for this. And for always caring to answer our questions!

I do think that delusions and hallucinations can truly cause a person to behave in a way that differs from their personalities. This particular disorder doesn't just bring out your negatives and exaggerate them, it creates negatives that were not previously there (at least temporarily) This is coming from a person with these issues.

I agree. A disorder that involves psychosis and physical differences in the brain as described above does not seem to be purely personality to me. Obviously it’s a factor. Also, tons of other credible sources DO categorize bpd as a, “mental illness”, and there are studies which say that it meets the criteria for SMI. I’m not a doctor, though, so what do I know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

7:20 i don't think lack of empathy is in direct correlation with not appreciating other people's needs! empathy is just about being able to FEEL other people's emotions, even if you don't have that skill, you can still want to learn what other people's needs are and respect those needs. I think we put a lot of weight on empathy and not enough on learning to be a good person and learning how to have healthy relationships. This circles back to personality disordered people having childhood trauma imo and conversations should be about their healing not their demonization if we really want to stop the cycles of abuse! (not saying that this video was demonizing !) Very informative video as always thanks❤

Currently refining the separated defense now. He has been in practice for 40 years carefully piecing an integrative model and we are having a great deal of successes. People are reclaiming their lives. Setting healthy boundaries, retuning to the workforce, improving their interpersonal relationships. I personally work best with individuals with Borderline and seeing people get well and have success in their lives. We have trained a small group of local therapists in our town and in the process of developing an online learning platform to share this information. There is hope in treatment. We care and believe and see people get well. Blessings

I went about 5 years off of meds (with Dr approval and continued monitoring) for bipolar type I. I'm frustrated that the symptoms have returned but I'm proud of myself for doing some research (that's how I found this channel), learned new information and contacted my psychiatrist. I have an appointment in 2 days. I think that it's fair to say that he is more hopeful than I am, but he may not feel that way after he reads the latest message! I found a list of commonly used meds and made notes of all the meds tried and why they were discontinued. On top of that, I developed permanent dyskinesia. If you have any advice for people with bipolar who have never had more than a 40-50% improvement on a mood stabilizer, I sure would like to hear it! One final fact about me- any mental health med (antidepressant, antipsychotic, mood stabilizer, etc) has had the effect of severe suicidal ideations at weeks 2-3. I rarely get through it without requiring hospitalization. My most common mood is usually considered ultra ultra rapid cycling and only a few times in my life could I say that I didn't have at least low level depression.

Wow, that's very deep Dr. Marks! I guess the thing that can make the subject of personality disorders interesting to so many people is because we see these traits in others, or maybe even ourselves. I know most people have some of these traits, so it is important to make sure we don't go around diagnosing everyone. It's the old, "Don't try this at home" adage. The temptation can be to make a amateur diagnosis of everyone we run into with road rage, as an antisocial narcissist, and an anal retentive boss, as having obsessive compulsive personality disorder. I'll leave the diagnosis to the professionals like you, but am glad to have the information in videos like yours as a way to understand people better. BTW, your videos are very professionally done, and the information is articulated very well. If you ever consider doing some teaching, or seminars, you would do very well at it. Keep up the good work. :)

I have to say Mr Repairman must be spying on me. However now that I am getting older it is getting easier in that I am okay with more alone time. Some advice that has helped me... 1) volunteer with hospitalized children, old people, or animals. Just sit with them. Give to them. Care for them. This helps heal the heart. 2) Meditate and take space for you. Very hard to find as a parent but if you can have some creative space and 15 minutes a day to get a clear mind it will do wonders for your anger and impulse. Practice mindfulness. This is key for your brain. 3) Find your higher power. Jesus is mine but I also follow the teachings of Buddah. This heals my spirit. 4) apologize often and acknowledge the problem in front of other. Find 1 or 2 good friends to confide in and 1 or 2 more just to have good times with once in awhile. This will help heal you emotionally. MOST IMPORTANTLY... NEVER. EVER. GIVE. UP. You aren't alone in this Mr. Repairman. 🤗 Hugs

How do you separate ASD from multiple diagnoses given from childhood? I have been taken to doctors since age 4 (I am 59). In my early 30s, I was diagnosed with dysthymia, then major depression, then psychotic depression. I was then diagnosed with bipolar 1, but then was changed to schizophrenia and OCD, then that was changed to add borderline personality, then again was changed to schizoaffective D/O and OCD. I have been tried on a myriad of antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotic drugs, hospitalized, given different types of therapy, and even ECT with not a lot of improvement. Psychiatrists told me in 2005 that I would alway be in/ out of hospital, on meds, and never be able to work again as schizoaffective D/O has no cure. I have been off meds since 2005, not been in hospital since 2001, and have worked full time since 2005. Family members have told me they think I have Asperger Syndrome and have probably been misdiagnosed since childhood. I have taken several online ASD tests and have scored very high for ASD traits. Is it possible that I have been wrongly diagnosed my entire life?

As a clinician (of over 30 years) however I view personality disorders as a mental illness, only in the sense that I have found them more destructive as far as in relationships than other major mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, bipolar, depression, etc. I'm sure you know what I am talking about. I'm not dismissing how difficult these other illnesses are in relationships, but personality disorders take the cake. If someone were to ask me if a personality disorder was a mental illness, I would say "Abolutely YES!"

As a sex trafficking survivor diagnosed with PTSD and Borderline PD, dialectical behavior therapy lacks context. I appreciated the coping skills, labeling/identification of emotions.

It was like oh you have several flashbacks everyday but go stick your head in the sand like an ostrich with your ass in the air. How about society go after the people that sex trafficked me? They filmed and publicly broadcast their crime but nobody is in jail in spite of reporting. I deserve justice not victim blaming by its organizations/institution.

This was so interesting and so informative, thank you for posting. I have BPD Cluster B, Antisocial Personality Disorder. On top of that I fall into the category of sociopath. At the age of 55+ there's nothing I can do to change, and that's one of the many "problems" with being this way: I don't feel the need to change. Had I known way back when that I would turn out this way perhaps I would have altered my lifestyle, or not. That's the sociopathic part of it. At least it could have helped me to better cope with others. Numerous ex-gf's and two ex-wives can attest to my apparent issues, not knowing those not seen, kept down and out of sight. Though my last wife did catch on, seeing how I slip into and out of character depending on the circumstances. How I bypass rules and regulations whenever possible, playing every game I know to benefit myself. Well, at least I know myself now. And why I do what I do even if I'm not fully cognizant of it.

My mother died when I was 5yrs old. She has been extremely selfish cruel like the stepmother in Cinderella!! She hated the relationship that I had with my dad. She would not talk to us children and just stay in the bedroom. She never spoke or greeted us. She only loved and looked out for her children. I was her main target because I favored my deceased mother the most. She mistreated my baby brother as well. There's so many things that she did during my child and adulthood even after my dad passed. I'm the only 1 out of my siblings who takes meds and has gotten couseling although my 4 other siblings need it!! She also has some of the " Mommy Dearest " characteristics!! She's just not a public figure like Joan Crawford was!! The evilness is real!!! I don't (WHAT)she is!! She's not a Who at all!!! Her parents weren't any better!!!

elupe mano Zhou’s, BPD is actually one of the most treatable pd’s. Some say u can even fully recover from BPD unlike any other personality disorder so don’t give up. Have u tried schema therapy? Apparently that’s quite good for BPD. Loads of doctors say stuff like that but are often wrong. If you’d like me to, I can try and link u a few websites that talk about treating bpd, just let me know. I wish u all the best sunshine x 🧡

Dear Dr. Marks, I love your videos, and highly appreciate and like you. They are clear, concise, precise, accurate, with very useful and reality-laced advice, and you have such a bright and beautiful personality with a very pleasant voice and great diction. I think I didn't notice it in your newer videos, and I hate to follow the positive comments with one that isn't so, at least for me. It's the sound effects. They sound a little distracting. It takes away from your excellent work instead of contributing and accentuating it. Actually, for me, there's another level of difficulty that comes with it. Sometimes, they make me stop listening. I am sensitive to sounds, especially high pitched ones, and in addition to that, when I'm out walking, or at home, alone, they make me jump frequently, because it sounds like a car is approaching, or phones are sounding alerts, or like there's someone I didn't see behind or near me. I'm not paranoid: it's just a realistic safety precaution, especially for women, to be alert to our surroundings. I imagine some other viewers may experience some of what I described, too. Thank you again for all your wonderful advice and videos. I love it.

Thanks Dr Marks for explaining the difference. My mother has BPD and is Narcissistic to the point where she's one at a time destroyed all connections with family and friends. I become hyper concerned when I feel I've displayed any form of behaviour that mimics her actions, but understanding when a personality issue becomes a disorder and how it varies from a mental illness really helps in understanding and when it's unhealthy.

Dr. Tracey. I have a question/comment.... My mother was diagnosed with severe schizofrenia, when I was about 12 (since then she has been in hospital/institution for over 25 years); my father is very narcissistic (selfcentered, money and prestige oriented, lack of empathy, manipulative, yelling, etc.) and I think would meet the criteria pro a mild form o NPD with obsessive compulsive traits, oh and he drinks too. I am codependent and have some signs of cPTSD (emotional flashbacks but without extreme emotional instability - they usually occur in safe situations and I am able to process it - they only began after I got married after age 30). My brother seems to be passive aggressive and perhaps sometimes covertly aggressive; he is angry about many things; he was the scapegoat and I was the golden child. Question: How is it possible that such dysfunctional parents could even find a relationship, get married and have kids and those kids were not taken away from them? I have a friend, who I now think is v severely codependent or an inverted narcissist (Sam Vaknin idea) - she is highly functionalnand hard working and very emotional but always chooses the biggest looser and as she gets older the loosers are more and more of a looser - she does a lot, they do a little if anything until she burns out, breaks up, and the cycle keeps going. When she was 30, she owned a condo, had a good job with benefits - now she has nothing. -- As I see this and other people around me, it seems to me, that even severe dysfunction can work for people for a certain amount of time but when they/we reach middle age (35+), the negative consequences of the dysfunction begin to show themselves…. Am I right?

I’m so blessed to have discovered your expertise. My daughter is being treated for B1. And I’m not confident that the medical help she is getting is adequate. It seems that they just want to stick her in a box and move on to the next patient. I recently realized that being in denial about her condition was not helping her. So that is what started my research and stumbling upon your channel. She’s 26 and has a narcissistic father. These categories are very confusing to me and I guess it would help me, help her if her condition is Properly diagnosed. This video makes me think she’s in a category C? Her condition is not extreme to me as I see it as normal life’s disappointments at her age. We live in a small town and the struggles that come with it. (Limited career opportunities, re-cycled men, lack of quality men, very little positive activities for young singles...). She’s beautiful, smart and talented. She want to move to another state, but I feel it’s not safe for her to be away from family. I appreciate any input. Aloha from Hawaii. 🌺

Even before viewing the information included in this video, I NEVER considered/grouped people with Personality Disorders in the COMMUNITY of the mentally ill...EVER! I always took a great disliking and annoyance towards it, the people who unintentionally (through, NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN) suffer from mental illness are nothing like people who intentionally have personality behavior problems when/while interacting with others in a displeased manner.😟

I have BPD and anxiety is very severe. Will I always be this way? I do take Seroquel and Klonopin and I am 57. Sounds like I. have a bit of all these symptoms....also have spinal stenosis, 2 bulging discs, degenerative disc in my last disc. So I have to deal with severe pain as well. I keep to myself and have agoraphobia. But I am scared to take opiate pain killers. So when will this end?!?! Drs don't seem to care too much except my mental health team. On SSI and medicad so I will end up in a state nursing home. I know how these poor people get treated....used to work at one and went home crying every night. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about BPD.

Therapy can help on borderline personality disorder. Some manage to become well functioning. I know someone who read a biography of a former borderline woman who managed to get stable. I don't remember the name of the book unfortunately, but the girl had bpd herself and the book gave her hope. In terms of anxiety I'd recommend you try hypnosis or hypnotherapy. Make an effort to open your mind to the change. What I did was imagining that I'm for example on the bottom of the ocean. Or directly down in my subconsciousness. I think this was what made the hypnotherapy super effective. My mom has used some specific form of healing for a girl who had severe anxiety too, and it has done miracles for her (forget about believing in spirituality or not, the best medicine in the world is placebo either way, there are absolutely no side-effects). I can get the name of the technique if you're interested. I don't remember it atm.

Thank you Dr. Marks. The knowledge you share is a great relief for me. It's explained so thoroughly. I appreciate you very much. It's Me... I have this too. It's definitely getting narrowed down to BPD with depression and anxiety. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. It's taken me many, many years to get this far. My diagnosis haven't been addressed deeply enough. You have helped me to realize bit by bit of who i am. Why I'm who i am and what i could do to get better. My doctor suggested speaking to a therapist about BPD+. I hope it goes well and the person will be knowledgeable. I haven't had anyone as knowledgeable you and I'm thankful everyday that I found you. Thanks so much.

Hey Dr Marks! I really love watching your videos - they’re wonderful insights into things that I’ve often found really difficult to get my head around. I was recently diagnosed with dysthymia and histrionic personality disorder which, by my count, has been around for at least a decade, but it’s hard to pin it down. Finding information on HPD proves very difficult. It’s my understanding it may even be dropped from the next DSM (if there is to be one) as a diagnosis. My psychiatrist is great, but we’re focussing more on treating the effects. I was wondering if you might be able to go into some more detail about the condition itself. Would be tremendously appreciated ^_^ Josh

He would always call me out that I have narcissistic personality disorder, I had no idea what the hell was going on. He blatantly provoke other people either online or in person, and then through some disorder at them, calling them antisocial, manipulative and whatnot. I really coundt understand what was going on. He was a good guy but it got too much to handle. I hope he's in a better place. Thank you for this video

If you feel trapped you must BREAK the relationship from functioning at all for either party. 1. Gray Rocking - Be mildly and boringly pleasant. Keep your words kindly benign and short. Be aloofly non-reactive. 2. Distance - Be always on your way somewhere else. The bathroom, the pharmacy, your grandma's, etc. No contact when possible. 3. Let it go - Don't ask permission, just go. No closure, accountability, getting even, or even understanding. Ghost. It isn't personal. If the relationship feels unhealthy for you now, it is likely to always feel unhealthy for you. Break free from it and move on with your life. It is the healthiest option for EVERYONE.

Thank you for this video! Very informative. I still don't understand why chronic conditions like Bipolar, schizophrenia, dissociative disorder, autism or adhd are treated as so separately from personality disorders. I understand that personality disorders don't necessarily have issues that arise from chemical imbalances that can be corrected but rather issues in learned behaviour. However, isnt the treatment the same, aka . therapy and maybe medication? Aren't both just as chronic? Is not true that for both types of disorders that they are "managed" rather than "cured"? Or did i misunderstand something about e.g. bipolar disorder and they actually can be cured - and it just takes a while. I can also imagine that the distinction has been made to draw attention to the different cause of disordered functioning (brain chemicals v behaviour pattern) but that there is little difference in what these disorders mean to an individual I would really appreciate your input as i havent found any of this information anywhere. I would love to see another video on this. To anyone else reading this and wondering the same thing - please like this comment so that Dr Marks can see it.

They are both chronic conditions (a condition that is... well.. chronic.) What she said in the video is that personality disorders aren't an illness. Best analogy I can think of is having a mental illness is like having a bad high that goes away with meds whereas a personality disorder is like trying to force yourself to be an extrovert when you're an introvert (as an adult.)

Finally a an actual professional on KZbin who doesn't demonize personality disorders! It's so sad how many stigmatizing and unhelpful narratives are being spread by people who work very hard to seem legit and that their audience want to trust. I feel like much of the general interest towards psychology is egotistical, in the sense that we're all looking for answers about our own feelings and experiences rather than for a genuine passion for the subject. Therefore, it is so very easy to fall into narratives where you refuse to take accountability or understand the situation from another point of view, and to sustain that you demonize the other party. I feel like much of the hatred especially towards narcissistic traits is rooted into this way of thinking. But not only does it lead to more pain, it also nevers allows you to heal. So yeah, I'm glad different narratives are finally being displayed, this video was truly informative.
