Psych Leftovers: They differ from mental illnesses in that they are personality types and enduring behaviors - no physical causes or treatments exist. But there are just some folk.... These disorders are long-term, cause significant distress and the degree deviates from normal expectations. There are several divided into 3 clusters: odd, dramatic, fearful. I think of them as freud's leftovers in our pharma-cafe.
