A very complex review of personality disorders that in the past have commonly been mid diagnosed as schizophrenia. The explanations of each personality disorder and how each condition varies was very interesting and valuable. I gained a better understanding of behaviors and reasons for these behaviors.

I never knew that there was such a range of personality disorders. Also, Geoffrey does such a good job of challenging viewers to leave assumptions behind and to also check for formal diagnoses and to not "label" people with disorders

This lecture has provided me with more knowledge on the different types of Personality Disorders and the DSM criteria now used. It highlighted to me the need for more empathy for individuals with such disorders
