DSM-5 Anyone?

Postby kalley1618 » Mon May 20, 2013 2:03 am

personally I think this goes much more in depth, and definitely fits me more.
such as the part where the instability goes on to say, either by Identity or Life Goals. for me it's identity. Or unstable relationships. now it's either having to do with empathy or personal relations. for me it's definitely empathy

I might be wrong but I do not think it is in wide release. The screening party was in SFO this past weekend or very near......

There are a couple authors making the book tour rounds about it... it's a popular subject.
consciousness started to flash,

here, it seems, flooding in play

even the corners of mind

where it’s always bright as day.

Mentions the empathy part. The funny thing is, I actually do have empathy. That's the only way I know that a few peoples suggestions that I have ASPD is unfounded.

Criteria for the DSM V in 2012 (Although I don't know if those are still valid in 2013... like the ultimate draft):
The essential features of a personality disorder are impairments in personality (self and interpersonal) functioning and the presence of pathological personality traits. To diagnose borderline
personality disorder, the following criteria must be met:
A. Significant impairments in personality functioning manifest by:
1. Impairments in self functioning (a or b):
a. Identity: Markedly impoverished, poorly developed, or unstable self-image, often associated
with excessive self-criticism; chronic feelings of emptiness; dissociative states under stress.
b. Self-direction: Instability in goals, aspirations, values, or career plans.
AND
2.Impairments in interpersonal functioning(a or b):
a.Empathy: Compromised ability to recognize the feelings and needs of others associated with interpersonal hypersensitivity (i.e., prone to feel slighted or insulted); perceptions of others selectively biased toward negative attributes or vulnerabilities.
b.Intimacy: Intense, unstable, and conflicted close relationships, marked by mistrust, neediness, and anxious preoccupation with real or imagined abandonment; close relationships often viewed in extremes of idealization and devaluation and alternating between over involvement and withdrawal.

B. Pathological personality traits in the following domains:
1. Negative Affectivity, characterized by:
a. Emotional liability: Unstable emotional experiences and frequent mood changes; emotions that are easily aroused, intense, and/or out of proportion to events and circumstances.
b.Anxiousness: Intense feelings of nervousness,tenseness, or panic, often in reaction to interpersonal stresses; worry about the negative effects of past unpleasant experiences and future negative possibilities;feeling fearful, apprehensive, or threatened by uncertainty; fears of falling apart or losing control.
c. Separation insecurity: Fears of rejection by - and/or separation from - significant others, associated with fears of excessive dependency and complete loss of autonomy.
d.Depressivity: Frequent feelings of being down, miserable, and/or hopeless; difficulty recovering from such moods; pessimism about the future; pervasive shame; feeling of inferior self-worth; thoughts of suicide and suicidal behavior.

2.Disinhibition,characterized by:
a. Impulsivity: Acting on the spur of the moment in response to immediate stimuli; acting on a momentary basis without a plan or consideration of outcomes; difficulty establishing or following plans; a sense of urgency and self-harming behavior under emotional distress.
b. Risk taking: Engagement in dangerous, risky, and potentially self-damaging activities, unnecessarily and without regard to consequences; lack of concern for one‟s limitations and denial of the reality of personal danger.

3.Antagonism, characterized by:
a.Hostility: Persistent or frequent angry feelings; anger or irritability in response to minor slights and insults.

C.The impairments in personality functioning and the individual's personality trait expression are relatively stable across time and consistent across situations.
D.The impairments in personality functioning and the individual‟s personality trait expression are not better understood as normative for the individual‟s developmental stage or socio-cultural environment.
E. The impairments in personality functioning and the individual‟s personality trait expression are not solely due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse,
medication) or a general medical condition (e.g., severe head trauma).

To me, it seems much more accurate and less shaming then the last criteria. At last, we're not manipulative liars. :|

Yes, hopefully the world will be much more informed when it comes to borderlines. I once had a nurse at Inpatient tell me "Why you can't be BPD, you're not nasty enough!" I was awestruck. I didn't know whether to feel comlpimented or insulted haha.

I also like how they include anxieties now. Maybe now I won't have another diagnosis of "Panic states"

I actually like this diagnosis criteria better..

I think they were saying that its hard when we look at things as black or white to have empathy (towards others that hurt us) Empathy as in saying we are all human, we make mistakes..seeing people as gray..not black and white..

I dont think they were talking about empathy in general..

Its nice to see I am really improving in some areas
