Ever wonder why your colleague or family member is so strange? He or she cannot stay long at a job, has difficulty relating to people, and seems a misfit in society. Some even have chronic self-harm tendencies. Such persons may be suffering from a personality disorder (PD).
These are one of the least understood conditions in psychiatry. They cause a lot of suffering to themselves and others, and are not easy to diagnose or manage.
Unique features of PD, and an overview of their causes, and treatments will be provided.
We will examine some traits of PD from a biblical perspective, as it appears that a spiritual approach is the best way forward towards transformation through the renewing of one’s mind.
