[@Danielle-nz9tn]

I love the idea of “overly conscientious personality disorder”. That makes so much more sense. I hate misnomers. If the OCPD person doesn’t have obsessions and compulsions, it should not be called “obsessive compulsive” personality disorder-pretty simple. Misnomers about health conditions are especially unacceptable and irresponsible when it comes to empowering and helping patients/clients already struggling. I wish this would be officially addressed by the mental health discourse.

Right? I have OCD the anxiety disorder and it's absolute hell.

[@codybeasenburg6275]

I agree, I think the name is confusing and unhelpful. I know that sometimes it's been called Anankastic Personality Disorder which I think is more helpful in distinguishing it from OCD, but isn't quite as immediately descriptive to the average person in the way that Narcissistic Personality Disorder or Paranoid Personality Disorder are.

Would the following apply? My brother works at the airport. There are people who will hold onto an empty Plastic container or newspaper until they can put it in a recycling container when most people would just put it in the trash when they are done with it??? I think my sister has this...

[@LucasSample101]

I have SAD and Dependent personality disorder along with Bipolar II, GAD, and CPTSD. It’s really mentally straining because not only do I have to deal with normal heightened anxiety, but also intense mood swings, a severe lack of self respect or esteem, and the constant juxtaposition between feeling like people hate me and not being able to function properly without them. It’s even more stressful because I have a high level of expectation for myself along side being naturally empathic/intelligent, so I’m able to see my potential although I can’t always live up to it. It’s made working incredibly difficult, and despite the fact that I seek approval and validation, I’m too scared of what others think to step outside of my comfort zone. I have a lot of intrusive thoughts that constantly suck any mental clarity away from me, and it’s definitely something that has gotten worse as I’ve progressed into my mid-twenties. Currently I’m only taking benzodiazepines as needed to help with my overall anxiety, but I’m hoping more can be done to help manage the entire complexity of my issues one day.

I’m so happy that you point out that it doesn’t necessarily make sense for AvPD to be considered a personality disorder if it really is just a more severe and/or more chronic form of Social Anxiety Disorder

I'm diagnosed avoidant personality disorder. It's very difficult. We are very lonely but very cautious. Add in that modern dating is absolutely terrible I've resolved myself to being alone. The cycle continues 😂

[@nohandlebitch]

Hi, i have not reached out to any doctor but i have all the symptoms of avoidant personality disorder. I've fucked up my college life because of this, no real friends, never been in a relationship, and many more. Do you know how can i help myself Without drugs or therapy? Thanks

[@JohnDoe-bb4wd]

What’re your treatment plans?

[@rabbitbunny136]

some ppl dont have therapy

[@Arstudook]

@@nohandlebitchactually people with avoidant PD don’t need drug but cognitive behavioral therapy which’s provided by psychotherapy, mostly by being aware of your symptoms & challenging them is enough to heal best wishes

These are just simply amazing , awesome work

[@hallmt]

I feel like when a therapist talks to a patient, it’s like an end-user trying to change the interface of the operating system.

[@mangos2888]

With the therapist being the developer?

[@ChrisSummers-AlienFaeRE]

More like trying to change the operating system by using the operating system that is dysfunctional.

There's been some interesting research about how OCPD is often comorbid with autism. You can see the sinilarities.

[@tompommerel2136]

Great series explaining Personality Disorder Clusters. BUT, do remember that not everyone (e.g. those with dyslexia) is comfortable with acronyms (OCPD, OCT, OCD etc...). Some of your mnemonics are great but they could be expanded to include the more complex disorder acronyms you so glibly say.

[@the_townleys]

The video was so good we had to leave a comment🤣

[@4fitelements421]

When looking at all these different “states of being” we tend to look at them as conditions that just appear. However these are just states of awareness (or lack of) that we walk into based upon programming (whether direct or indirect) that we have accepted. The behavior stemming from that accepted programming is the state that we believed would work for us to get through the conditions in which the program was implemented. When we recognize that there is better programming available we can then start the process of leaving that state.

[@minniemouse7863]

i think i have this cluster C probobly. This is me sad. I am avoidant person

I’m so sorry 😢. Is your state permanent or is that happened after some trauma?

I'm dethenantly having traits from all and deep down anxiety and low self5

[@Danielle-nz9tn]

I’m so happy that you point out that it doesn’t necessarily make sense for AvPD to be considered a personality disorder if it really is just a more severe and/or more chronic form of Social Anxiety Disorder. I see them both as just different points on the same continuum. I believe that calling it a personality disorder will discourage some people from seeking help, as it can contribute to stigma and make people feel there is something deeply flawed about them.

[@LethalLemonLime]

Most people with AvPD don't see it that way at all though.

[@hnice5]

I have both Social Anxiety and AvPD and I'm done with people that think "it's just the same thing but worse". No, it's not. There are some times when I don't feel socially anxious, I feel I should be comfortable with the person I'm with, but I still have difficulty interacting with them. They are different things, saying they are the same is like claiming shyness is the same as social anxiety.

[@Chiefland7]

​@@hnice5thank you... I was just about to comment this same thing. I have Avpd and it is completely different from social anxiety. It's not on the same spectrum at all. It's a delete thing. I do have social anxiety sometimes though but i feel there is a good reason that it is a complete different disorder and I don't have a problem with it being called a disorder.. yes I feel worst for having it but I'm thankful that it had been addressed and people are aware of what it is.

[@hnice5]

@@Chiefland7 Glad to know more people with this disorder feel the same way :). Sometimes psychologists just see it as one more theoretical concept from a book and proceed to argue about its existence while there are people who suffer it and most likely know it better. I can't count the amount of times someone said they were misdiagnosed with only SAD or ASD by their therapists or just depression. This PD needs to be studied so much more. Anyway, I'm happy to talk with someone else with AvPD! I hope things are going alright for you there. There is a way out, just have hope!

[@islash09]

I woule def disagree as someone with avpd it is def different than social anxiaty avpd is like ocd for your personality except the compulsion is to avoid and your mind will play tricks on you to get that illogical avoident result. Except its like all day everyday I would def say talk to people with avpd before just believing that it should not he a disorder because it gives me a basis and also the help for people with social anxiaty isn't always the same.

[@mollyparhar6045]

how would we differentiate between schizoid personality disorder and avoidant personality disorder.

[@akatie888]

AVPD has a desire for relationships whereas schizoid doesn't

[@LPSlight0]

@@akatie888 Hey, having done a lot of research on this from experts in schizoid personality disorder, folks with schizoid DO want relationships with others, but due to early childhood experiences, detach in order to keep themselves safe from the perceived threat of others. In other words, folks with schizoid personality disorder are motivated by a salient need for interpersonal safety, which makes the inherently risky nature of interpersonal relationships too difficult to cope with, hence the extremely low extraversion. But once they feel safe, which usually takes a long-time, folks with schizoid tend to open up. This also further cements the idea that avoidant personality disorder isn't actually a distinct personality disorder in its own right, because it's core underlying difference between itself and schizoid is based on a false assumption of how schizoid personality disorder works. It may be best to view avPD as an extreme form of social anxiety disorder, or as an additional symptomatic angle to existing PDs, i.e. NPD with avoidant traits.

[@Chiefland7]

​@@LPSlight0no. Avpd is not the same thing as. Social anxiety disorder. I think people who have never had the disorder just simply do not understand it.

I am gonna have to disagree with the psycho therapy treatment. It dose not grasp the complexity of mental illness and mental health conditions. It is so inconsistent and inefficient too. Very un reproducible .

[@ravemint]

As someone who has recently been diagnosed with AvPD, I don't find that much of an overlap with social anxiety. I have been screened for social anxiety before and was extremely fat from it. A lot of research of AvPD in the last few years, has shown that even though there is an overlap in people who are diagnosed with both, a lot of patients with AvPD have earlier been wrongly been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder.
