Title: Personality disorders – who are we?

Abstract:

Personality disorders cover a wide range of areas and it is quite hard to understand. I suffer from borderline personality disorder and its hard for me to even get the idea of things. Terms are given not because it makes you suddenly a different person but so it is easier for you to find acceptance within yourself. In addition to this it allows other people to gain an understanding of our complex brains. There is simply not enough awareness of how common these personality disorders are and how it affects us on a daily basis. This talk will explain the types of disorders classification, how common they are and some real life stories from myself, managing my traits of borderline personality disorder.
