Oh great..

In studying for my psychiarty exam tomorrow, I have successfully diagnosed myself with at least two disorders tonight.

Classical Medical Student syndrome.

Crap.

Personality Disorders

So this year includes a course in Psychiatry.

Recently, we discussed personality disorders, and a few people I know came to mind.

"excessive orderliness, perfectionism, preoccupation with lists and rules, need for control; rigid, stubborn, overconscientious and devoted to work, unwilling to delegate"

Now who might I be talking about? Any guesses?

There is also the "suspicious, distrustful, guarded, grudge-bearing"

Hmmm..... Anyone, anyone?

Patients with personality disorders are often "ego-syntonic". That is, they view other people as having problems, not themselves.

Caveat: I'm just kidding. Everyone has some traits of personality disorders. That doesn't mean they actually have one.

Well, I'm off to misdiagnose some more people.
