0:00.0	Hey, deserving listeners. Today's episode is on all of the personality disorders. I'm going to talk about all of the personality disorders in this episode, all 10 of the personality disorders in the DSM, plus four other personality disorders that are not included in the DSM, but should be. This episode is just for patrons of the podcast. So if you're not a patron,
0:23.6	you need to become one to hear this whole episode. This episode is kind of like a continuing
0:28.5	education episode for clinicians. And so I thought I would just have it be for patrons of the
0:34.2	podcast. I'm going to go into full detail on each. I mean, I'm not going to go into,
0:39.4	it's not a deep dive for each personality disorder, but it's a deep dive on personality disorders in
0:44.2	general. I've spent my entire career studying and treating personality disorders. It's very
0:51.3	complicated. I can look back to graduate school and beyond and remember how little I understood about personality disorders early in my career. It's hard to learn. And research shows this, that therapists and clinicians have a hard time understanding personality disorders. And sometimes they don't know that they don't understand personality disorders.
1:14.4	I can't remember this one study specifically, the specific percentages,
1:19.5	but something like half of clinicians misdiagnosed narcissistic personality disorder,
1:24.4	even though it's one of the most common ones.
1:26.8	You need to work with these
1:28.4	people for months, if not years, to get to know the personality disorder. To really understand it,
1:35.9	you have to be with those people, and you have to get to know them inside and out. You can't learn
1:41.9	about personality disorders from reading a book or lectures or
1:45.3	vignettes. It helps, but you really have to experience these people. And you also have to know
1:52.0	what to look for. You know, a lot of these people end up in therapy and a lot of clinicians are
1:57.1	exposed to these people. But unless the clinician knows that this person suffers from the personality disorder,
2:04.9	they don't necessarily know what they're looking at.
2:08.0	And they're often misdiagnosed and misunderstood.
2:11.5	There's a lot of misinformation out there, particularly on the Internet.
2:15.5	And a lot of clinicians avoid these people because they've
2:19.0	been brainwashed into thinking that they're evil or that they're untreatable. And it's just not true
