Answer to Question 1

Answer: People high in neuroticism, low in extraversion, and low in conscientiousness are the most likely to suffer from depression. The correlation is especially strong for neuroticism, as anxiety and depression are closely linked. In brief, anxiety is the anticipation of negative events, and depression is what settles in after the negative events occur (or are perceived to occur). Extraversion is linked with positive emotions and happiness, so it tends to protect against depression.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Men are more likely than women to suffer from narcissistic PD, obsessivecompulsive PD, schizotypal PD, and antisocial PD. Men are more than twice as likely to have any personality disorder as women and five times as likely to have a personality disorder in Cluster Aparanoid, schizoid, or schizotypal. Although borderline PD is often stereotyped as a female disorder, just as many men suffer from it as women.
