Document Summary
Usually have reduced insight into the symptoms don"t seek help. Longstanding, pervasive and inflexible patterns of behaviour: no matter context, that personality always comes out. Dsm-5 got rid of axis 2 (where personality disorders were taken care of) Secretive to avoid this, don"t confide in others. Read hidden meanings into negative stuff (idea of reference) Symptoms always there: only paranoid delusions, nothing else really that are mild, based in reality. Negative symptoms of schizoid as well as odd beliefs/magical thinking (not quite delusion/hallucination) Might lead up to schizophrenia if in certain environment. Impulsive, instable relationships, mood and self image: erratic, unpredictable emotions, gamble, shopping into debt, sexual encounters, binge-eating. Chronically depressed, seek attention: cutting, suicidal tendencies. Substance abuse: depression/bipolar, anxiety disorders, eating disorders (impulsivity/attention seeking) Emotionally shallow, don"t think much about themselves internally. Use physical appearance and behaviour for attention. Inappropriately sexually provocative, easily influenced by others: not much about self-worth. Impressionistic speech, lacks specific detail: way of getting attention.
