Do any of you suspect your adult children have any personality disorders?

[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 539541, member: 84"] That's exactly why I made certain Nichole knew what her dxes are, and made certain that she was well educated about them too. She also got quite a bit of family history she never knew before in order to show her that there are people with mental illness who can still live good lives on the whole. She needed the latter as a rope to hold on to while she was working to get stable. Without it, I dunno if she would've done very well. I couldn't imagine finding out something like that in that way. That had to be horrible. Although bff's list of dxes was rather long and I'm fairly certain there were probably two or more personality disorders on that list. Of course with her, drugs/alcohol muddied the waters so bad that it was really hard to tell what was addict / drug / withdrawal behavior and what were the mental illness behaviors if that is what they were. I know none of her psychiatrists would tell her about the personality disorders for fear she'd nosedive right over the edge and there would be no hope of saving her. But I still don't think it's fair to lead someone to believe they have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).......when they don't, but they have these other things......and are not being educated about them ect because a doctor isn't being honest.
