Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder is NOT a PERSONALITY disorder. They might exist together, but are seperate Axis I, and Axis II disorders distinctly.

Classification

External links should be provided next to the World Health Organization http://www.who.int/en/ and American Psychological Association http://www.apa.org titles on this page for reference and acknowledgement of research and official definitions in this subject.Wjl5326 (talk) 04:31, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Under Cluster B, Narcissistic personality disorder requires a better explanation as it is more than just "grandiosity and admiration". The definition as currently shown on the page is too vague. Per [1]Wjl5326 (talk) 04:31, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Diagnosis

I stumbled upon this page, saw that a lot of the information was outdated and decided it needed to be fix it. The information currently present is outdated since it's based off criterion set by DSM-IV, which is an earlier edition. The DSM-5 has revised the diagnostic criterion for personality disorders and I have summed it up in the section below. This is the information I would like to put in place of what is currently there. I am new to editing Wikipedia pages so if you have any feedback, opinions, or advice it would be very much appreciated!

Diagnostic Criterion

In the most recent edition of the DSM, DSM-V, the diagnostic criteria of a personality disorder have been revised. The general criterion for a personality disorder specifies that an individual's personality must deviate significantly from what is expected within their culture. [3] Also, particular personality features must be evident by early adulthood.

In order to diagnose a personality disorder, the following criteria must be met:

  • "Significant impairments in self (identity of self-direction) and interpersonal (empathy or intimacy) functioning." [4]
  • "One or more pathological personality traits domains or trait facets." [4]
  • "The impairments in personality functioning and the individual's personality trait expressions are relatively stable across time and consistent across situations." [4]
  • "The impairments in personality functioning and the individual's personality trait expressions are not better understood as normative for individual's developments stage or sociocultural environment." [4]
  • "The impairments in personality functioning and the individual's personality trait expressions are not solely due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, medication) or a general medical condition (e.g., severe head trauma)." [4]

Prevalence

Are prevalence numbers given lifetime prevalence or 12-month prevalence? Please clarify. --1000Faces (talk) 02:40, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Last Paragraph of the Lead

The last paragraph seems to be unnecessary IMO. It is also making the lead 5, instead of the limited 4 paragraphs, determined by policy. I would like to remove this paragraph entirely or at least select a couple of the main points and integrate them into the earlier paragraphs. Will wait a while to see if other editors object.Charlotte135 (talk) 02:20, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
