We had #dclinpsy teaching on 'Personality Disorder' on Monday and it's been on my mind ever since as I can't see past the illogical falacies presented. The speaker recognised that 'PD' is a contentious diagnosis that's highly stigmatising. They agreed that it's inappropriate to give anyone under 18 the diagnosis as it 'stays with them for life.' Instead, they felt that 'emerging PD' was more appropriate (whatever that is)
