> are BS. I mean, DSM things in general are BS, medically speaking; they dont show up on brain scans, etc. But personality disorders, in particular, are more moral judgements than actual disorders. Its BS, moralistic BS at that.
That is your cynical opinion, formed and influenced by your own peculiar experiences with psychiatry. A behavioural condition does not have to show up on a brain scan for it to exist.
I am experiencing certain behavioural aberrations which are clearly destructive and are causing me great distress. That is not "moralistic BS".
> Anyway, the AvPD supposedly responds to MAOIs. ANd benzos. And therapy.
Thank you for the information. I think CBT might be an avenue for me to consider.
