Which personality disorder is being described here? so, first of all, there are 10 personality disorders, and they are split into three clusters.
00:10
So you have cluster a, and these are sometimes called the eccentric.
00:15
They are schizoid, schizotypal, and paranoid.
00:19
Cluster b are sometimes called the emotional.
00:23
They are histrionic, narcissistic, antisocial, and borderline.
00:28
Then there's cluster c, which are the...
00:32
Anxious or fearful.
00:35
And those are obsessive -compulsive personality disorder, avoidant and dependent.
00:42
So first of all, which cluster are we looking at? well, this person is taking part in risky activity, is threatening suicide, has strong alternating emotions, and feels empty a lot.
00:54
We're looking at something in cluster b.
00:56
So the cluster b disorders are antisocial, which is characterised by a difficulty of empathy and leads into manipulative behaviour, and be narcissistic, which is a difficulty with self -esteem, but especially with feeling extremely high self -esteem and a need to reinforce that.
01:18
Histrionic, which is a need for attention from others, and borderline.
01:25
Borderline is quite complicated, but it's what is being described here.
01:29
So borderline personality disorder, the main things that go into understanding the thinking of somebody with this disorder is that they have extreme emotional states.
01:41
So feel strong emotions...
