Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Style, not symptom: Personality doesn't really have symptoms - the style of relationships and common behaviors include alternating from intense like to dislike so relationships are volatile. Irritable and easily offended. Black/white thinking - enemy or best friend - love/hate - exhausting to be or be close to. Has some overlap with Bi-polar and can be mis-diagnosed - may be why Tx for the illness may not work.
