This week, the host of First Line (Aubrey Ann Jackson) discusses two of the personality disorders in Cluster B: antisocial and borderline. Cluster B is known as the dramatic and emotional cluster with emotional reactivity, poor impulse control, an unclear sense of identity, and possible aggression. Individuals with a Cluster B disorder have lives marked with stormy and problematic relationships, and affected individuals are also at risk for self-destructive behavior. It is so important for all of us to learn more about personality disorders to identify individuals who may need help. Individuals affected by personality disorders most often do not realize there is a problem, often shifting the blame onto external sources. Additionally, these disorders are unfortunately often misunderstood and excessively stigmatized.
