Personality disorders present with symptoms which corresponds to other psychiatric illnesses as well. It makes imperative to employ the [DSM-5] criterion to make the diagnosis of PD. Additionally, many patients with PDs also suffer from co-morbid conditions like mood disorders, [[substance abuse]] and organic brain lesions which have overlapping symptoms and signs with PDs. This requires a complete long history including duration of symptoms and developmental history and essential investigations.

Overview

Boderline disorder needs to be differentiated from mood disorders like Bipolar disorder, anxiety and delusional disorder. Cluster-A disorders have to distinguished from delusional disorder (persecutory type), schizophreniform, bipolar disorder with psychotic symptoms and schizophrenia. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can also have interchangeable presenting complaints to the cluster-C PDs.. Thus, Axis-1 disorders and Axis-2 disorders have similar presentation and needs to be evaluated and ruled out before making the diagnosis of Axis-2 disorders.

Differentiating Personality Disorder from other Diseases

Personality disorders present with symptoms which corresponds to other psychiatric illnesses as well. It makes imperative to employ the [DSM-5] criterion to make the diagnosis of PD. Additionally, many patients with PDs also suffer from co-morbid conditions like mood disorders, substance abuse and organic brain lesions which have overlapping symptoms and signs with PDs. This requires a complete long history including duration of symptoms and developmental history and essential investigations.

Differentiating [disease name] from other diseases on the basis of [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]

On the basis [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3], [disease name] must be differentiated from [disease 1], [disease 2], [disease 3], [disease 4], [disease 5], and [disease 6].
