[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 633331, member: 1550"] I think many of our difficult children have personality disorders. Check out borderline personality disorders. These are mostly women who can't control their emotions and can't stand being alone, yet often do things to push people away. from psychiatric Central forum: A person with this disorder will also often exhibit impulsive behaviors and have a majority of the following symptoms: [LIST] [*][B]Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment[/B] [*][B]A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships[/B] characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation [*][B]Identity disturbance[/B], such as a significant and persistent unstable self-image or sense of self [*][B]Impulsivity[/B] in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, [URL='http://psychcentral.com/disorders/eating_disorders/']binge eating[/URL]) [*][B]Recurrent suicidal behavior[/B], gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior [*][B]Emotional instability[/B] due to significant reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or [URL='http://psychcentral.com/disorders/anxiety/']anxiety[/URL] usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days) [*][B]Chronic feelings of emptiness[/B] [*][B]Inappropriate, intense anger[/B] or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights) [*][B]Transient, stress-related paranoid thoughts[/B] or severe dissociative symptoms [/LIST] As with all personality disorders, the person must be at least 18 years old before they can be diagnosed with it. **** Here is the link to the entire article on Borderline (BPD). [url]http://psychcentral.com/disorders/borderline-personality-disorder-symptoms/[/url] Borderline personality disorder is more prevalent in females (75 percent of diagnoses made are in females). It is thought that borderline personality disorder affects approximately 2 percent of the general population. [/QUOTE]
