Answer to Question 1

The personality disorders are a category of mental illness characterized by extremely rigid patterns of behavior. Usually, people with these disorders have significant difficulty maintaining personal relationships because they refuse to change to accommodate other people. Individuals with borderline personality disorder have very stormy relationships and excessive mood swings, accompanied by an unstable self- image. Antisocial personality disorder includes a wide variety of characteristics including a disregard for societal standards, a lack of concern for the welfare of others, and a lack of remorse for wrongdoing. Although people with this disorder are sometimes referred to as sociopaths or psychopaths, the majority do not engage in criminal behavior. In fact, many are highly intelligent and charming.
