Steve Jobs. Marilyn Monroe. Megan Fox. Angelina Jolie. David Beckham. What do all of these celebrities have in common? They all have a diagnosed personality disorder. Personality Disorders are defined by enduring patterns of inner experience/behavior that deviate markedly from cultural expectations (per the DSM-5). All in all, there are 10 defined personality disorders as well as an 11th type referred to as Personality Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDNOS). Approximately 9% of all adults in the United States experience personality disorders.

Listen in to today's episode to find out why this may be, the history behind the discovery and diagnosis of personality disorders, and how we can work together to break the stigma.
