- This video answers the question: Can I conduct a comprehensive review of Paranoid Personality Disorder?
I will review the definition, history, etiology, comorbidity, and treatment of the disorder.
Paranoid Personality Disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of distrust, suspiciousness, and hostility. It is a Cluster A Personality Disorder, which is the odd and eccentric cluster.
In the DSM we see that Paranoid Personality Disorder has seven symptom criteria, four or more are required for diagnosis:
1. believes that others are deceiving, exploiting, or harming them even though the evidence does not support that conclusion
2. preoccupation with unjustified doubts about the loyalty of friends or colleagues
3. reluctant to confide in others, fearful that the information will be used against him
4. interprets benign remarks as demeaning or threatening
5. persistently bears grudges
6. believes that their character or reputation as being attacked and quickly reacts with anger
7. believes spouse or partner is unfaithful, without justification

I have PPD. It's serious asf and not something to take lightly; living with this is no joke. It's like having an alarm that goes off every time you feel in danger/threatened, but the alarm is broken and severely overreactive. Everywhere I go, I'm always expecting a confrontation, I see people and I instantly start thinking what devious motive they're trying to use against me, I'm always thinking my friends and families have secrets against me and that I need to find them out. Anger is a big part of PPD, i get pissed off a lot; can't forgive jack shit, someone wrongs me 10 years ago its as fresh as yesterday
Agree. What really makes life extremely hard, is the inability to forgive (I have grudges from when I attended kindergarten, more than 20 years ago).
Or you are just a scorpio
I was told once i was a 'professional grudge holder' before being diagnosed, damned if that doesn't make 110% sense now.
And dont forget always carryng guns or my knife
That must be exhausting. The best of luck to you in creating an easier existence.
5:08 "Irish Alzheimer's": a condition where you forget everything except a grudge
and to buy a pack of smokes
Whoa!! First time I've ever heard that...(explains a lot, lol.)
Lol
❤ Love this comment.
2 funny!
You basically described my mother to perfection. I've tried to understand her for years & I think I get it now. Thank you. ❤
MINE TOO!!!
@@edinburgh1578 mine too. Can destroy their life with their husbands, family and even kids. Sad.
My mother has it and probably other personality/psychiatric disorders. She doesn't trust her own children but she trusts the crook who calls on the phone, pretending to be from Microsoft and needs access to her computer to give her technical support.
Same with my father! and he successfully trained me not to trust men! 😂😂
@@countkalergi Yes that's right
I wasn't so paranoid about people's intentions until I experienced so much trauma. I then became very overly weary of people. Especially new people who I don't know very well. The slightest sign of a red flag and I run. I cut ties. I just keep to myself, keep my head down and stay out of people's way these days. I don't think it's PPD, rather a trauma response. But it feels similar. I do cognitive behaviour therapy to try to calm my thoughts, but it seems I get more relief from the anxiety if I just stop associating with the perceived threat. It's lonely.
Me too. But, the way we are self managing, not self medicating, is harming ourselves! I do the same. Your world becomes smaller and smaller and the relief of retreating into a private domain where you can feel your anxiety decline.. isn’t a healthy place either.. especially when you do this long enough… 🧡
You just described my wife! She refuses treatment. This condition is devastating for the loved ones. Sometimes I feel I can't deal with her any longer.
I am so sorry to hear that. I have a family member with this. Its killing me. I sympathize with you. Wish you strength.
My son has it. I'm so stressed. Its killing me also.
This is one of the only videos ive seen where it didnt feel like i was being demonised, thank you.
Hello Dr. Grande,
I wanted to thank you for not only making this video but also the original one from two years ago. For years I've always knew there was something "wrong" with myself, I was aggressive and hostile in situations where it wasn't called for and when called out on my behavior, I'd get more hostile. Looking back on these moments, I realize these people were right to call me out, even if I didn't like it at the time. I initially thought I had anger issues and tried to do research on the subject, but nothing seemed to "fit" until I deviated into research about personality disorders. There's a long history of mental illnesses in my family, including personality disorders, so it wasn't that far of a reach to think I might have something in this category as well.
Then I found your videos, had a revelation, read what little articles there are about PPD, did a lot of introspection over months, and while I'm not yet professionally diagnosed, I am very certain that I have PPD. I'm looking forward to receiving CBT and learning stress management. My anxiety is through the roof and hovering somewhere in the stratosphere. It's horrible to live like this, and I don't know whether or not knowing that I have PPD makes things worse or not, because now I overthink things and doubt myself. Is it just my paranoia or are my feelings about a situation justified? My trust in people, including my own family, has always been near non-existent. Hopefully therapy will help with that. I can only do so much on my own.
It also hurt to hear that PPD might be removed from the DSM, because this thing is the only thing that accurately describes what I experience on a daily basis since early childhood. Literally nothing else fits. It is very very VERY hard to be open about my PPD, but I can't keep discounting my hostility as just being a jerk, because that's not who I am. It's an extremely toxic behavior too, and I don't want to hurt the people around me anymore, including myself. I also hope to have the courage to start a series on CZcams about PPD and spread awareness.
So, again, thank you for making these videos on paranoid personality disorder. You've helped me set down a path toward recovery and a deeper understanding of myself.
The thing with this disorder is that if you think you have it, you probably don't.
@@st.blackops2cel61 Yeah! It is congruent with the individual inner experience (Egosyntonic)
I’m from the same Tribe. 😏
Did you ever start your channel mentioned above?
Thank you for sharing your insight on this topic. I’m a social worker and I have clients with PPD. In my experience, setting firm boundaries, being honest & clear, and foreshadowing any potential disruptions in routine can be helpful. I would appreciate more feedback/info on how to work with this population.
How many people, or what percentage of the adult population, have no psychological disorders whatsoever? These exhaustive lists of disorders seem to include everyone I have ever met!
Majority decides whats normal.
Lol. Yeah I understand what you mean. I suppose it's when an individual displays say 4/7 criteria of a listed disorder for a period of time or they struggle to live mainstream life eg relationships, hold a job down etc. then they might have a disorder which needs treatment. I think social media is mentally unhealthy and see a lot more NPD evolving! Rared by 2 narcs......if you come across one turn on your heels and run!
Most if not all have issues, but would not be diagnosed with a disorder. Being anxious for instance, is not a paranoid disorder.
I don't think so bud.. With a personality disorder everyone has it to an extent but it becomes a personality disorder when it fucks up your life it becomes a disorder when it fucks up your life. Not everyone is mentally ill.
Exactly! If a person has ever suffered depression, (and who over age 40 hasn’t?), they have technically suffered a mental illness. I think they’ve even pathologized **grief** for chrissake. It gets absolutely ridiculous!
Whoop whoop 200k , Dr. Grande your channel has grown fast in a short amount of time. If anyone deserves a congratulation it you sir. Thank you!!!! Great topic. 🌷💮🏵🌷🌹🌺🤩
I have had PPD since the age of 17 and am now in my 60's. I fit all of the diagnostic criteria for PPD, except for suspecting that my spouse is being unfaithful. I believe that my PPD was caused by excessive and incessant bullying in elementary and junior high school. Thanks for posting this video.
Same with my mom and she is 60 too! I am doing my best to educate myself how to help her, I know she wouldn’t approve to get help at all. Do you have any advice?
@ghadeeralnajjar8599 I can tell you from experience, it's incredibly difficult to confide in anyone. I'm afraid that she'll have to come to the end of her rope, then MAYBE she'll give in to therapy. But for me, I just don't have the strength to do it right now.
I think a lot of the paranoid disorders are from are from lifelong incidences of people letting one down. And overthinking things of course just my opinion.
Absolutely!
Yes, probably "Kick-starts" it, and then it just takes over!
One feeds the other maybe?
exactly
It sure seems that way, from my experience with paranoia. Idk if I ever had PPD, but if I did, it probably woulda seemed normal and appropriate to me \m/
Please do a video on the relationship between people who think they’re victims of “Gang Stalking,” and Paranoid or Schizotypal personality disorder. Gang stalking is very relevant and pervasive even on CZcams. Thanks Dr. Grande!
I second this idea. Looking at gang stalking would be extremely interesting and relevant.
PitterPatter20 - yes. Lol.
PitterPatter20 - a lot of those people who believe they’re victims of it, do not see much possibility of their victimization being untrue. You can kind of tell what cluster that would be in.
@@cjzanders5430 I'd really like to see this too.
Pile-ons are as American as apple pie.
This is incredible. I have been so worried about the partner I had to leave, because of the hostility and accusations I received. It was terrifying. Literally, stage-by-stage you have pinned down my experience. I am completely amateur and untrained, and have hunted high and low, read articles, joined groups, asked questions, I was stuck between PPD and NPD, and wondered if the two might be a possibility. That, or maybe there is something wrong with me. But he has ended up isolated, and I am fearful for his future. He rejects everyone eventually, for the slightest non-comment. And I daren't tell him. But thank you so much for this. It's incredibly clear and informative.
This is the best description of PPD I have found anywhere.
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this.
Congratulations on 200k!!!🥳🍾👏🏼
What a great achievement Dr. Grande, you earned each one of your subscribers due to your professionalism, hard work and delivery of outstanding videos! I am so happy for you and I wish you get many more subscribers!!
About the video- this was a fantastic analysis! I personally enjoyed this video very much because I know someone who presents all the signs of PPD. In fact, that’s how I found your channel, because I thought something was not right and I wanted to understand if there was a disorder behind the peculiar behavior.
That being said, after understanding this condition I was able to really have more compassion for this person and provide encouragement to seek treatment.
Thank you again and again for your outstanding work Dr. Grande!
Thank you for this video, Dr. Grande. I'm a person with diagnosed DID and first came on your channel when I saw your video commentaries on DID channels. I was pulled into a lot of your other videos, now I watch them whenever I can. This video on PPD is very helpful in understanding the psychology and trauma I've gone through living under an individual with this disorder who aggressively displays these symptoms every single day, for more than a decade of my life. Aka my parent. I've been on a path of healing and this gives me a much bigger resolve.
Congrats on 200k :) it's a great channel with interesting content
YAY!! 200K subscribers - congratulations 🥳 and once again, thank you for the fantastic videos. I’m improving in my mental health with lots of professional help, self help, friends, family and lots of therapy! 💪🏻 👊🏻 💥
I know you’re posting this about me!
LMFAO
Yep. You should probably sue him for defamation, "the song of your people. "
Andrew Boehmer He’s also got your house surrounded.
Jeanette Waverly Never take me alive!
Unless there’s beer and pizza.
Andrew Boehmer And chocolate.
Wow, thank you for this. It answers the final questions as to what I was dealing with in a past relationship. So excited you reached 200K too! Congratulations!
After watching your videos, i think i have every single personality disorder.
☹️
That's common but easily dismissed if you do your best to be objective about your symptoms and only come to a conclusion after analyzing your behavior for a long period of time like writing in a journal and looking back and finding the consistencies. Also that you meet ALL or nearly all of the criteria for that specific disorder before you can be fairly certain.
You mention with these disorders that you would need to meet at least 4 of the 7 criteria and I meet all 7. Also the high rate of comorbidity with other personality disorders, which I believe I am experiencing. Specifically Paranoid Personality Disorder comorbid with Avoidant Personality Disorder, again meeting all criteria for both disorders. I just wanted to thank you for uploading these videos because as you well know, I am VERY reluctant to seek any further treatment due to the nature of what I'm dealing with. I have read through the DSM in the past but these videos have really helped my understanding of what it is I'm dealing with and how I can possibly go about approaching recovery. You've given me some hope that there are caring and competent counselors out there.
Thank you Dr.G ( so informative)😉and congrats on 200 . You are the best! Hope you have a amazing day😌
CONGRATULATIONS Dr Grande 200k! Very well deserved it can only keep going UP woohoos too you Sir !
Thanks, Dr. Grande... You make complex information understandable. This information is very helpful in moving through life in today's world. where it seems that there is an abundance of troubled people.
I appreciate the attention to nuances, co-morbid aspects,and detail given in your presentation Dr. Grande.
Could you please do a video explaining the difference between PPD and CPTSD.
You are a master speaker, making it so much easier to understand. Thank you for the help you have provided for me and I'M SURE for so many others.
Congrats on 200K subs Dr Grande and thankyou for making this video.
I believe you nailed it with this one. I appreciate your scientific approach, instead of a casual condescending one. I believe PPD and other personality disorders specifically in cluster A to be MASSIVELY misunderstood. Thank you.
Very in depth description. My wife is symptomatic of this and its been a looooong 26 years
i stumbled across this video looking for the did ones, i suffer from ppd and it made me really happy to see it so well explained. i try to be open with my loved ones about my ppd but of course i find it really hard- i don't like telling people because i don't want it to be used against me and i don't like to leave a paper trail. i'm definitely going to show this video to people in the future when i want to attempt to explain it. thank you.
Alex, would be willing to tell me how you became aware that you had ppd? What helped give you insight and understanding? And did anyone help you in a way that was especially significant or useful?
I’m asking because I love someone who has this. I’ve tried for about a year to figure out what was happening. I saw overlaps with other Personality Disorders and I saw PTSD (which makes sense for what he’s been through), but nothing made total sense until I learned about ppd. I’d be grateful for any insights you can share.
Really congruent video,interesting and well-put conclusions.
How about a video on differentiation? Signs of being high and low in, and how your family of origin affects it. Love your videos! So happy for you!
Good request
Sincerely speaking, your explanation and presentation to me is just superb. Thank you so much
Good work Dr.,pause,rewind,pause rewind.alot to assimilate for a novice like me,but it sure was interesting.
Complimenti, Dr Grande! 200k!? That is almost 10 times the amount of people that can fit into Madison Square Garden.
No pressure, though. I just want you to do well and come up with some interesting scientifically informed medical health topics - like you did today. 😉😊
👍🌹
Really interesting video, Dr. Todd.
You really should be congratulated for focussing your topics on the DSM manual; facilitating, accurate access to current, definitive, black and white data to the general population, to which, they may be otherwise, unable to access independently or understand, or unknowingly be unaware of! Cheers and Merry Christmas Mr Grande🫶🏻
Thank you for the insight Dr. Grande.
My opinion is that I love your videos! Calm, rational, and educational, always.👍
Agree. Plenty of food for thought.
A great reference.
Hello Dr. Grande, I was thinking if you could make a video about toxic shame. I have now very clearly identified that shame lies at the core of my avoidant personality and I would be interested in a more detailed review of toxic shame, its origins, function, impact, how it can be healed, etc.
Another great video. Thank you, Dr Grande. Two questions please: (1) When you mention " Negative childhood experiences, specifically early body contact trauma", are you talking about physical abuse?; (2) Signs/Symptoms of this personality will appear only if triggered by a certain circumstance?
Same. I’m thinking, bodily trauma.
Your video was inspirational it helps me to identify some of my circumstances I face in the environment I adjust to dealing with severe mental illness.
Thank you so much Dr Grande for this video!
Very helpful Dr Grande ....thank you
omg you just described my significant other. I was basically reading about narcissistic personality disorder. it seems like he may have both?(comorbid?) He will never get any medical help. He even told me, do not tell my dr everything cause my own dr will "use it against me" WTF. He has a big ego, very self important and convinced that he is totally normal and other people are "dumb/stupid/naive". gives me lectures on how naive i am..i just leave the room and lock myself in the bathroom and run the water. I cannot really change him, he is what he is. He does not drink/smoke/use drugs.
My boyfriend is the same way. He your got any better or worse?
Facinating topic. Love those deep dives. 😆🖒
Comment 126: 2026 views. Congratulations on reaching 200K subscribers. 🥺😀🥺
I like the definition Ego-syntonic.
Your view of Paranoia is very timely as it has had made some presence in where I have lived. I like your definition - esp the first about the individual thinking others are out to get them.
Thankyou Dr. Grande for your work in making us more knowledgeable. 😄😄😄😄😀😀😀😀👍
please more videos on schizotypal personality disorder!!!!! your videos are very important and information packed! I love it! that you so much
THANK GOD YOU INCLUDED THE FIVE FACTOR MODEL ANALYSIS. thanks
Congrats on hitting 200 thousand subs
Excellent video Dr Grande
To all out there, thinking about the Etymology of Paranoid Personality Disorder.. and the point Dr Grande made about “bodily contact trauma” and early negative childhood experiences, I delved into brain trauma in children and found these to be helpful:
You just know it all huh..lol;) verry good once again..I'm gonna watch again..there was alot of info! But..inthink your videos help these people..cuz they probably try to inform them selfs..since getting treatment is hard! We thank you!!!!
What is body contact trauma you mention in this video. Is it sexual abuse or lack of nurturing?
Thanks for the information Dr Todd
I sent my girlfriend a bunch of your videos talking about ppd I hope your able to open her eyes I haven’t been able to for the pass two years I really hope your videos help us because I really don’t know what else to do your my last hope I’m happy I was shown your channel because you might save up I don’t want to loose her I love her so much I just want her to understand thank you for your help god bless you and stay healthy
Thank you for your content.🙌its interesting that paranoya is conected to other disorders.
I think I have PPD and evolved a little OCD to feel more comfortable, because little mistakes always made me fearful that someone would use them to take advantage of me, so I always followed patterns to avoid mistakes, even as a kid forcing my self to follow the most populated paths to school because I was scared of being mauled by bullies.
Example: I used to check all doors and windows before sleep, but later in the day I wasn't being 100% perfectionist, just doing it because I felt necessary, but now I just can't sleep If I don't check them, even when it's not necessary, like when I have visits or I'm just going to take a little nap during the day.
It does not hurt to keep yourself safe! I resonate with ‘evolving’, or developing some OCD as an adaptation, subconsciously, to cope. Me too. I too, was terrified of a male high school bully, as a primary aged (5-6 yr old) child and getting from school to home particularly.. so much so, that it was organised for me to walk with an older girl to a certain point… where she went one direction and I the other..still a fair distance for me to walk alone… one day she crossed the road on our way home and asked me to wait on one side for her. I saw the bully looming over the hill, about 100m behind where I was standing,waiting. Terrified of being alone, to get to my support person, I ran in front of a car and luckily only was clipped on the foot.. I vividly recall
@@Allisonloosemore My incidents are/were only me being too much aggressive towards someone based only in my pre judgement, so it's only PPD. But on OCD, I can deviate, it's just that I feel anxious, that's why it only bothers my sleep.
Maybe what made you cross the road without thinking was your desesperation on PPD, not your OCD, like me, I act agressive because of desesperation for confronting a "big threat", it's only that you chose to flee instead of fight.
I always think people are trying to belittle me or “double talk” like say something that could mean a few different things.. I also think people try to intimidate me on purpose, like they sense my vulnerability and want to take advantage. I also think people spit in my food and drinks, I have a 5 year old son that I hate sending anywhere because I’m afraid people are trying to hurt him or poison him. I’ve come to hate people even my own mother. I fantasize about their deaths. Im a recluse and truly think that this lifestyle staying away from people is the only way I’ll be able to live on this earth.
I kid you not, this is what I'm seeing myself becoming. I'm 17 right now and I've come up with procedures to check whether or not somebody has done something to my stuff, spit in my food and drinks, or somebody has gone into my room. I always check the status of said thing before I leave, I don't even ask, others ( mostly in school) if something has happened because they'll take advantage of it. Except my closest friends who know about it.
And now I'm beginning to worry about my family. My older siblings are in university and I'm scared that they might run into psychos who might kill them or do worse. That's why I've decided to not marry, and never have a kid. I don't want someone to care about. Recently I'm even thinking of living in isolation one day and saying goodbyes to family and friends, I just dont want to hear that one day they're dead. Better to say goodbye now than not saying it ever.
@@budgetmicro5387 what about also having the thought, that, if you were in trouble, nobody would know, because you’re not keeping in touch, or worse still, thinking nobody would care if they knew… I feel like nobody would know if I’m dead or alive at any given moment in the future… and that no body would attend my funeral, remember my wishes to be buried with my Son, or care to attend. I have lost contact with just about everyone.
Very insightful.
I appreciate your channel.
Great information. And I really like your cool eyeglasses.
Spot on,I've just realised that the nearby narcissist also suffers with paranoia,thanks to your detailed information.We have had incidents of huge trucks coming into our area due to missing the turn for their depot.They then have to manoeuvre these huge trucks out of the cul de sac we live in.Sometimes they don't succeed so well.The narcissists front rockery was damaged in the middle of the night by a tyre 3times larger than normal.The tyre marks left confirmed it. They became suspicious of me and I don't drive,but that's not something that's relevant if you want it to be me in their mind it must be.The fact that my pillar at the end of the driveway had been taken out was ignored as all their minions/family gathered to discuss the level of retribution that was to follow.I would never have understood all of the traits and how they come together and most of all how to manage them,except for the kindness of Dr Grande in sharing his wealth of knowledge.Thank you so much for what you do.
12 people were happy you reached 200,000 subscribers and me too.
Happy 😘😘 SUBSCRIPTION DAY CELEBRATION 😘😘😘
This is outstanding. Thank you
Another thing that's extremely saddening to the family members and people suffering with PPD, is that their loved ones that suffer from this will often times feel too exhausted to even want to try to have a "heart to heart" with you or really externalize/share what they are experiencing. Especially when they don't possess the capacity to not be suspicious even when you simply ask, "Is it ok if we talk? I love you." I honestly don't know of what form of potential solution there is to be governed when sincerity, kindness, altruism, basic rational thinking, caring, attentiveness, and love all fail. What else is there? They can become so fatigued to where the only thing they want to do is a form of entertainment for themselves while they wake up and repeat this cyclical, Hellish, nightmare every single day. I don't even understand how my brother functions at work at all or lives in another "normal" sense of reality alongside this devastating and agonizingly horrific disorder.
Yes, it causes exhaustion and stress in their loved ones.
@@yarazard Yes
Very insightful perspectives being brought to the forefront in this video. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a statistic that could represent a majority of those individuals with PPD being misdiagnosed as schizo-typal or schizophrenic. I understand that you don't normally diagnose real life individuals, but I find some of these characteristics overlapping in some predominant historical figures. Alexander the Great for example showed many signs of being a particularly paranoid person, or perhaps under the spectrum of bipolar. What would your professional opinion be in regards to certain eccentric individuals like Beethoven, Winston Churchill or Gandhi? Perhaps you could make some enlightening videos to cover this topic?
This would be amazing I would love to look into historical figures and look at there attributes/disorders to see how it shaped them, great idea 👌🏻
Yeah! 😃
Yeah😃
Wow! This explains so much!
Please consider adding educational content for the spouse or family members of the person with PPD. Thanks for this enlightening discussion.
Dr. Grande, will you speak about Dissociative Identity Disorder and Multiple Personal Disorder?
What, if any, are the differences? What are the symptoms and treatments? Can either be caused by early childhood medical trauma?
Thank you for all the informative videos.
I tend to think differently than most people. It always seems like..people are out to get me, especially when I drop my guard. Even the clouds and rain try to get me. I'm smarter than they are, they can't get me while I'm here. I'm safe for now..
Kurt Cobain is quoted as saying: "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you."
That's actually from the book Catch 22, by Joseph Heller.
@@Auriflamme your argument is not mutually exclusive with the comment.
@@st.blackops2cel61 The quote is commonly misattributed to Cobain. That is my point.
I second CJ Zander's idea of looking at the gang stalking phenomenon. I think that's a great idea.
It would also be great to see a comparative video between clusters a,b, and c. Perhaps framed as "if there was a new personality disorder, how would psychologists decide which cluster to add it to?" (Assuming it would be added to at least one of them).
- I didn’t think about a new personality disorder. If the symptoms of “victims of gangs talking,” are all the same and they differ from other disorders in substantial ways, I would expect this to be new in the DSM or it’s newer version.
@@cjzanders5430 I'm proposing a different video idea when I mention the clusters. One video should be on gang stalking, another (totally different) video should be a cluster comparison. The cluster comparison isn't about gang stalking, just some hypothetical new pd. These videos would be totally unrelated.
Awesooooooome video! So interesting.
Came here after watching the Dave Chappelle Oprah interview. It’s fascinating viewing with this in mind.
I think all your followers, Dr. Grande, will be able to diagnose soon. Probably won't see our own problems but, oh, we'll "know" what others have got!
I like this series. I’d love to see more. Borderline. Bipolar. All the BPDs.
Great vid! Great info. Thank you. My ex likely had BPD/covert NPD and PPD... super distrustful. She actually said "I don't want to talk to you about my mental health struggles b/c you might use it against me". (Ginormous red flag now). And she was also highly, highly litigious... at the end of our relationship I felt like I was dating a lawyer... and, let's just say that she was *very* comfortable (ab)using law enforcement as a tool to do her bidding, enact revenge, etc.
Was she one of those people to beat the crap out of herself then go to the police blaming you? My sil did that multiple times.
Dr. Grande thanks again for a very informative video. Would you consider doing one on the 5 factor personality model, and how it may be applied to suicide vulnerability / risk
‘That I remember by the word OCEAN’ 🫶🏻
Excellent I am sure I know someone with this disorder ,
And you combat, narc?
I mis the content like this. It was very beneficial.
My crazy borderline ex always believed that everyone was badmouthing her, she couldn't see two people speaking that she always thought it was about her, and also had illogical jealousy. Certainly she had it to some degree. Once she stood up and got into a fight with two young girls out of nowhere. She sweared to me the two were speaking ill of her, but it was impossible to listen from that distance, she didn't hear anything, she imagined she heard, maybe even some hallucination. At the church she was always speaking about how people were looking at her with judgmental eyes. I didn't know anything about mental illness back then, I thought all of this was just common female behavior. She didn't have some grand conspiracy theory, but always expected the worst from other people. She also already had 6 psychotic episodes throughout her life, she is 32. She is considered borderline, but was also diagnosed as bipolar and obsessive compulsive in the past, even esquizoaffective. Eventually she turned against me and turned my life hell for a while.
I’m hearing you..I am…I feel sorry that you were ill-equipped to deal with that relationship.. I also feel for the ‘crazy’ ex.. very sad indeed. Hope you’re okay.🫶🏻
Can we get some going about the more dominant presenting PDs? BPD and Narcissistic PD? That would be interesting to hear your perspective!
Thank you.
Amazing video! Can you do a case study on PPD?!
I love your videos Dr. Grande! I’m working my way through them all right now. I’d love to hear a topic on kink and BDSM and whether or not they are healthy ways to deal with stress and anxiety and also whether or not they are healthy ways to express romantic love and attraction. 💕
Probably not the latter….😆
Hello, I'm new to the channel after being introduced to it by our daughter.
As Registered Nurse, I was wondering if many new & / older ailments have now being added to the DSM 5.
I'm curious as for example if it has been determined by Physicians' that an individual had taken a myriad of illigal drugs (poly drug use e.g. ice) which I expect were not either developed &/ used when the initial DSM Guide was pubished.
It had been determined that the poly drug used has severe mental health damage.
Sorry to babble on, but just wanted to ask, as mentioned above, whether it has been determined that these mental health concerns are published in the DSM 5?
Kind regards from Adelaide, South Australia.
‘Skills training’ as a treatment for this ! What ?? I’d love to see why that’s a good idea. At first glance it seems completely unrelated.
Ok so I was following that really well but then... i didn't lol. I will watch again. It must be difficult diagnosing disorders. Another good one, thanks Dr Grande!
I think there is more jargon in this one than usual so I agree, it gets hard to follow.
Fascinating.
I’m getting better but there is still things I’m still paranoid about, because there is some logic to my fears. Mainly I have fears about smells that cause some kind of reaction, though most of them are due to allergies. I’m a pretty shitty person my paranoia has harm mostly me but also my father. I’m not a good person, and now I feel so lost. I’m just faced with the reality of how many time I’ve constantly failed, I need to give myself a purpose. My sleep schedule is abnormal as well and I don’t know if I could ever really fix that. I hate being here in isolation with no breaks to make feel oh no I’m normal and everything is fine. Nothing is normal and I’m completely useless and also garbage.
Look it will get better
Having a family member with PPD I could write a few books on this disorder , from beginnings to on going, year after year, our greatest fear is someone will harm them, not them harming anyone else. Its been hell to watch this go on for the last ten years or so.
Terry, I know exactly what you are saying, I have the same thing with my family member. Did you take them to a psychiatrist?
@Gunel Hatami I am in the same situation as you except I am the child. My father has PPD and he always blames my mother and accuses her of things she never had the intention of. Like doing things disrespectful behind his back, exposing him to our friends, or even as far my mother being unfaithful to him and hanging out with other men. These are absurd claims that he has been keeping against her for 3 decades they are both almost 60 and yet my father still thinks she is using him, when in fact my mother is one of amazing people I have ever met.
Recently is has reached a breaking point. I recently knew about this disorder and tried to explain it to him but he rejects and says “you don’t know anything, it’s all your mothers fault” he doesn’t see my picture and probably will never realize that he’s the one causing the issues.
Your husband will probably never acknowledge that he is in the wrong and will always see you as a villain, my advice is explain to him that if you don’t get your issues solved you will divorce him.
May god help us all in these hard times.
@Gunel Hatami and also no matter how you act towards someone with PPD even if you act like an angel they will still find a way to accuse you.
@Gunel Hatami whenever he blames you for something don’t talk back with anger or hostility, dismiss anything and make him doubt himself use words like “what are you talking about?” “Listen to yourself you aren’t making any sense” “why would that happen” try to avoid things like “no I didn’t” “you’re wrong”
You described my brother. He is a thoughtful generous person and will help anyone. He has my 99 year old mother living with him and he treats her like gold. However, he is paranoid as you have described. It seems to be with people he works around, neighbors and some family. It breaks my heart because he is a good kind person. The neighbors know he is a good person so they just ignore his paranoia. This has been going on for some time, I just want to know how I can help him.

So I don't have bpd, I got ppd lol. I been diagnosed bpd but paranoid is by far my worst symptom. I know my whole life ppl complained about my paranoia but in my mind they don't like my paranoia because they can't get away with alot with me.
Please do a comprehensive review of histrionic pd.
I would love if you could check the case of James Saroka.. I believe that the videos that he made could show how manupilative tactics work and maybe, how a disorder looks like. He filmed himself and how he treated hi's girlfriend and it is horrific the way he treats her and gaslight her.
*sorry for my bad english
Dr Grande .. how do you explain cognitive impairment in PPD ?? Would you please explain this ? 🤔
