What can you do to tell someone they have a personality-disorder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A meaningful context: The diagnostic process usually starts with structured interviews and possibly psychological testing. After the results of the interviews and testing are interpreted, the patient is then informed of the diagnostic impressions by the professional. Ideally, the professional explains what the diagnosis means, and how this type of understanding can be used beneficially for the patient.
