Personality disorders aren't an illness, they're just a collection of traits. Classifying them as mental illnesses suggests that they aren't responsible for being shit, but there is no chemical imbalance to "cure."
Nah, they're really not. Not anymore than being a dick is a mental illness. Especially in the case of cluster b, they're just psychological labels thrown onto certain socially problematic personality types.
The problem with calling a personality disorder an "illness" is that it is, at least temporarily, adaptive: it works. The fact that a BPD/NPD/ASPD/etc behavior gets rewarded in the short term is an important part of why people "learn" to be borderline. But this same etiology makes it difficult to call the behaviors a disease.
That’s like saying that people with extreme phobias or hoarders or other behavior disorders that aren’t related to a chemical imbalance are normal. If they were normal they could be easily corrected.
Being mentally ill doesn’t remove you from the consequences of your actions. A diagnosis can help find a solution to help correct the problem, and those solutions can range from various therapies and types of support to temporary medications if necessary. If people don’t get help, they’re not going to get better on their own.
In all honesty though, I've found if I took what used to be an old psych appointment, turn the intensity down a lot, and just bring an issue to a friend or one of my parents, I tend to get more practical advice in the moment that doesn't blow smoke up my ass on what is or isn't possible so long as I stay on a regimen of pills.
Between that and a little mindfulness training, things are better now than taking 3 pills a day and talking to Dr. Shelby about whatever crazy shit is going on which never helped shit.
What if your friends and family also have issues? Then you're in a self-feeding dysfunction soup. The people in our lives are there to support us and visa versa, but they aren't there to fix us. Even if they are trained they are going to be too close to the problem to be objective.
Therapy ain't just for white people. Sometimes you gotta step back from your world to see where you're fucking up. That's what they're there for.
Many personality disorders begin developing before adulthood, when the child's parents are in control of the environment- it's not necessarily the child's fault because they were taught and encouraged to act a certain way.
Personality disorders frequently coexist with mental health issues. Sometimes solving the root cause can eliminate some of the reactionary traits.
DBT is the best "cure" for BPD, it lowers the rate of suicidality and increases the life span of sufferers. BPD is not just people "being shit" it's a serious condition that people do not conciously feed into.
It isn't though. Personality disorders are literally just being such a dysfunctional shitbat that your very personality is considered a mental issue. There's no chemical imbalance like depression or anything. It entirely their own fault for being such rampant fuckups.
My sister has BPD. Trust me, she wasn't traumatized or neglected. Bitch just is cray.
If people are doing their CBT or BDT good on them. They're making an improvement. But what they're essentially doing is reprogramming their dysfunctional brains.
Some people are like that and I agree with your last statement. But I've met plenty of people who have had shitty upbringings that result in them being diagnosed with a personality disorder. I haven't met anyone that is just "cray" but honestly I'm pretty sure those people exist. Safe to say people are different and what they go through is varied.
My upbringing was a nightmare. Full of crime and abuse and constantly being fed fucked up thoughts. Short of being regularly molested, not many Americans had it worse than me.
But all the fucked up shit I've done was my choice. I made those decisions, even the impulsive ones, based on my fucked up beliefs and values. Just like all the people I was around as a child did.
Everyone has an excuse, but ultimately we're all responsible for our actions and choices.
I agree with everything you said about us being responsible for our actions. If it seemed like I was earlier pulling the mental illness card as an excuse for people's actions I poorly communicated the point I was trying to make. Which was that environmental factors play a significant role in people being diagnosed with Borderline personality disorder, and while there are people who do not fit that criteria and are still being diagnosed as having bpd, that does not negate the effects a poor environment can have.
The initial commenter stated that people are entierely their own fault for being fuck ups and my response was that no, not entirely. If you have a shitty upbringing that definitely contributes to the piss poor actions people make in their lives. Thus there's a contributer.
Unless of course this is all mental gymnastics on my part
On the other hand, it's speculated that people's mental state could have an influence on their assorted biological functions. Perhaps prenatal development could get affected as well?
Everything in the brain is ultimately the result of electrochemical reactions, could easily be something we just don't know about yet. I mean honestly are we really even sure depression is a chemical imbalance? All that we know is that we have certain drugs that boost certain receptors, and people tend to get better after taking them.
Hot take: Trannies have bitched incessantly about shrinks diagnosing autogynephilia because it hurts their fee fees, but it would explain a misdiagnosis of GID in people who have simply developed a paraphilia based around over attachment to their psycho mommies.
It would also go part of the way to explaining the huge gender disparity between MtF and FtM transexuals.
That, their huge prevalence for autism, narcissistic personality disorder, their rate for suicidal attempt much, much higher than for other arguably more debilitating conditions.
Seriously though, LGBT lobbies are muddying the waters for trannies, and it's not helping anybody. The sane ones are getting such a bad reputations because of insane autistic "gender-trenders", the autogynephiles you see posting on Reddit, asking if they're cuteexample 1example 2.
It would make for a more tolerant society if people were asked to form their opinion on trans people before interacting with them in reddit. Nothing good can come from the latter.
90% of them will absolutely harass you if you call Bruce Jenner by his name or his correct pronoun though. Maybe the focus should be to make society less degenerate? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
God I hope we throw them out. Most psych studies are useless. "We find that in people aged 18-24 who all go to the same college and are part of a psychology program there is a 35% incidence of this. We will now extrapolate to the general population."
Compared 16 mothers of boys with gender identity disorder (GID) with 17 mothers of normal boys. Results of the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines (J. G. Gunderson et al; see record 1981-28151-001) and the Beck Depression Inventory reveal that mothers of boys with GID had more symptoms of depression and more often met the criteria for borderline personality disorder than the controls. Results of the Summers and Walsh Symbiosis Scale suggest that mothers of probands had childrearing attitudes and practices that encouraged symbiosis and discouraged the development of autonomy. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
Yeah, apart from basically uselessly small sample, there's also probably going to be a higher incidence of psychiatric problems in people who in the early 90s are referring their kids to a psychiatric clinic. Or if you've been there yourself or have your own psychiatric problem you're more likely to take your kid there.
It's pretty established that being trans is from a combination of epigenetic and genetic antecedents (ie familial, sibling, twin correlations, dysphoria in cis people, dysphoria in intersex people) so I'd have to see much stronger evidence than this to really think environment plays much of a role (except in the sense of - if you have a more accepting environment you're more likely to come out instead of being closeted)
I'm by no means an expert on this issue, and I honestly have not much of an investment in it, but I just call out nonsense studies when I see one. And it isn't even that the study itself is nonsense, just the agenda posting relying on this fringe early 90s study, probably from before the majority here was even born.
That would be 2 millions ( 40 000 per state ) in the US alone, 3 millions ( 100 000 per country ) in the EU. And it's not like most would be hard to find, they had to go through very specific medical procedures if not have to get psychiatric care for that exact condition.
That's a hundred times more than albinos, a fifth of twin births. That's way enough for any serious studies to find enough people.
.6% is an estimation based on other studies, I assume the vast majority of those people are not as easy to identify as albinos or twins. How many trans people have actually publicly outed themselves are trans?
That's not really relevant. If someone wishing to study transgenders wants people to study, they can just ask psychiatrists and surgeons to reach out to transgenders for them.
Sure, it won't reach all transgender people, and most won't accept ( And they'll have anonymity, so outing themselves as trans isn't really a problem ), but what was it, 16 transgender people in this study ? Don't tell me one can't do better than 16 f*cking people. FFS, I've seen 2 minutes reports on TV that featured half that many, and they definitely didn't scour the end of the Earth to find them.
"you're wrong, here's not why! No seriously, I'm not even going to make a slight attempt to tell you why I think you're wrong! Hell, I'll just call em a retard. That'll learn 'em"
It's pretty common in initial studies to use very small samples. They can still produce statistically significant results that warrant further studies. And social science would basically be impossible if you required massive 500-1000 sample sizes for every study. However a single study usually is not the final word on the subject.
The worst part is when the shitty studies get picked up by some pop psych magazine or website and now we have a bunch of retards walking around with meme psychology(that conveniently supports their personal opinions) that they spout regularly.
who is freaking out? lmao im tired of hearing about .1% of the population constantly. yalls non-stop pants shitting indignation is drowning out my attention span that id prefer to use for stuff i actually enjoy, like getting hammered and jacking it to tranny porn. hush becky
Somebody check on "I'm Jazz!!"'s mom... the kid who at the age of 3 supposedly told his mom he wanted a good fairy to amputate his penis and invert his ball sack up into his prostate (which he would no longer evidently need either). Kid was on hormone blockers (uh... and anti-depressants at the same time wtf) before the natural effect of hormones could kick in.... never stood a chance.

Don't tell me one can't do better than 16 f*cking people. FFS, I've seen 2 minutes reports on TV that featured half that many, and they definitely didn't scour the end of the Earth to find them.

you need a much larger sample size and more controlled conditions to extrapolate anything from this.

Trannies are too small a subject group

"you're wrong, here's not why! No seriously, I'm not even going to make a slight attempt to tell you why I think you're wrong! Hell, I'll just call em a retard. That'll learn 'em"

Turns out the only problem with trans was the way society treated them

Transphobia truly is the biggest faggotry of them all.

Agreed, they need a smack up side the head and people need to stop feeding into their delusional bull shit.

It's pretty common in initial studies to use very small samples. They can still produce statistically significant results that warrant further studies. And social science would basically be impossible if you required massive 500-1000 sample sizes for every study. However a single study usually is not the final word on the subject.

Yeah, tons of psychological studies are total bunk. And they get buttmad when asked to replicate.
1 69TEKASHI6IX9INE69 2018-06-27
The worst part is when the shitty studies get picked up by some pop psych magazine or website and now we have a bunch of retards walking around with meme psychology(that conveniently supports their personal opinions) that they spout regularly.

1 Magehunter_Skassi 2018-06-27
It's an old study, but it could absolutely be replicated nowadays. It's just that it'd be very politically taboo to do so.
Ask transgender people you know about their parents.

Somebody check on "I'm Jazz!!"'s mom... the kid who at the age of 3 supposedly told his mom he wanted a good fairy to amputate his penis and invert his ball sack up into his prostate (which he would no longer evidently need either). Kid was on hormone blockers (uh... and anti-depressants at the same time wtf) before the natural effect of hormones could kick in.... never stood a chance.
