Study Notes
Understanding Personality Disorders and Differential Diagnosis
- Schizoaffective disorder is distinct from depressive/bipolar disorder with psychotic features, necessitating understanding the proportion of mood to psychotic symptoms over time and their concurrence.
- Personality traits are enduring patterns of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and oneself, while personality disorders manifest in at least two areas: cognition, affectivity, interpersonal functioning, and impulse control.
- DSM-5-TR outlines various personality disorders including paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal, antisocial, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic, avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, and others.
- The overall prevalence of personality disorders is 9-15% among U.S. adults, with sex-specific prevalence and different clusters showing varied prevalence rates.
- Personality disorders typically emerge in adolescence or early adulthood and may not be noticed until later in adulthood, with some symptoms becoming less prominent with age.
- Differential diagnoses for personality disorders include psychotic disorders, substance use, anxiety, depression, neurocognitive disorders, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorders, PTSD, and personality changes due to medical conditions.
- Cluster A personality disorders (paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal) are characterized by distrust, detachment, and discomfort with relationships, each with specific diagnostic criteria.
- Cluster B personality disorders (antisocial, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic) are marked by a focus on self, emotional instability, and objectification of others, each with specific diagnostic criteria.
- Antisocial personality disorder, with a history of symptoms since age 15, is distinct from other diagnoses such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, substance use, and other personality disorders.
- Borderline personality disorder presents with unstable relationships, mood, self-image, and impulsivity, with significantly elevated suicide risk.
- Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by emotionality and attention-seeking behavior, while narcissistic personality disorder exhibits grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy.
- Understanding the diagnostic criteria and differential diagnoses for various personality disorders is crucial for accurate assessment and effective treatment planning.
