She had an oddly cute thing about her
No titties, but an attractive enough face.

My SIL was diagnosed as BPD and I thought it was an actual mental illness as in she was born with a fucked up brain. Then my wife informed me that it's actually just developmental like you're saying. Her "neglect" was just being a spoiled cunt but she's in her 40s and I see no hope of her ever correcting her own fucked-upness. My brother was basically told he was a pussy by the therapist (e.g. he needed to establish boundaries) otherwise she would step all over him and there is little hope of BPD people fixing their own shitty behavior.

Truthfully all personality disorders (i.e. borderline, narcissistic, anti-social, histrionic, etc) are not formal psychiatric "diagnoses" because they're really just names given to profiles of overlapping symptoms. In other words, you'd run down a list of 12-15 symptoms (addiction, toxic relationships, risky behavior, black/white thinking, low impulse control, fear of abandonment, etc.) and if you could check off at least 9, then you fit the criteria for that disorder. The problems with this model are several:

- firstly, someone like Fatrick could probably check off every symptom from the criteria lists from each different disorder, so how do you narrow down which one he actually is? If he came in to seek therapy, would you just call him a hopeless shithead and tell him he's out of luck? They obviously can't do that.
- there are no documented cures for these "disorders" and most researchers can't agree on any treatments that even mitigate the symptoms as a whole.
- once you diagnose a patient (especially an adult) with any of these disorders they effectively become a social pariah.
- some patients will use their diagnosis to excuse and justify their behaviors
- there are more productive ways to go about treating a patient with these symptoms, for example isolating addiction and unstable relationships and addressing them as different issues rather than telling someone "stop being a borderline because other people don't like it."

It's the same with the labels psychopath or sociopath - these are not true clinical diagnoses. They are just labels given to a collection of displayed behaviors. These labels then enter popular discussion and normal people start throwing them around in everyday conversation and suddenly anyone you don't get along with at work is sociopath or narcissist. That may be fine if you're a teenage girl discussing her ex boyfriend with a talk therapist, but a clinical psychiatrist needs to diagnose actual symptoms so they can be treated.

All this to say Pete Davidson needs a slap in the face so he sobers up and takes meds for his obvious chemical imbalance. He's being a selfish twat.


Edit: none of these personality disorders have been recognized as formal clinical diagnoses by the DSM for years. Anything you read about them online is produced by feminists bloggers who dated an asshole once, read some pop psychology books, and just started talking out of their ass. There is no science to back any of it up.

How's the science proving that chemical imbalances are the cause rather than a symptom of real mental disorders? I thought in the last year or so they found out that antidepressants don't actually have the neurological effects that they're purported to.

I'm with you, all psychiatry is a swishy science anyway.
But at least you can medically test how a drug effects the chemical reactions in a patient's neurological functioning, and then observe and record the impact it has on their behavior. However, you're still throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks. I'm not up to date with the most recent research around SSRIs or any other type of treatment. They're constantly finding new shit that contradicts the last thing they found. I'm just saying there's some - some - real science going on there.

Behavioral therapy occurs where psychology and sociology overlap so it's all soft science anyway, and will always evolve as societal norms change around it. Which is why terms like narcissist or psychopath go from a formal diagnosis to an outdated slur over the course of a generation. There's no real science with data points going on here.

Edit: I don't know if this particular faggot has a chemical imbalance. He might just be an addict who hates himself and doesn't want to grow up, like any other addict. In that case he needs to go to Church or join the military and quit being a faggot.

This is why making moral arguments against shitty behaviour is just better. That's all it comes down to anyways but it skips the egg headed middle men.

Agreed. But there's too many suckers in life who are drawn to narcissists and too many women drawn to brooding borderlines with tattoos and big dicks, so society ends up enabling many of them instead of insisting they fix themselves or fuck off.

Why would Pete work on himself? He has no incentive to?
