Document Overview
borderline personality disorder stand on the border between neurosis and psychosis, exhibiting unstable affect, mood, behaviors, object relations, and self-image. Individuals with borderline personality disorder stand on the border between neurosis and psychosis, exhibiting unstable affect, mood, behaviors, object relations, and self-image. They often engage in risky behaviors. They are intensely fearful of abandonment, and their relationships are often intense and unstable. Stress-related mood swings and paranoia, and suicidal behavior or threats of self-harm are common. Some patients are helped by β-adrenergic receptor antagonists, such as atenolol, to manage autonomic nervous system hyperactivity, which tends to be high in patients with avoidant personality disorder, especially when they approach feared situations (p.573). Lithium can help patients whose clinical picture includes mood swings. There is limited evidence for the pharmacologic treatment of obsessive- compulsive personality disorder. Some studies have suggested benefits from fluvoxamine and carbamazepine. Personality disorder categories may be applied to children or adolescents if maladaptive personality traits have been present for at least a year and appear to be persistent, pervasive, and not likely to be limited to a particular developmental stage or other mental disorder. Antisocial personality disorder is an exception. Diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder is not used in individuals younger than 18.
