Quick question: does DiD count as cluster b?

Good question. The short answer is no. More details below.

DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) is a Dissociative Disorder, not a Personality Disorder. Because DID used to be called MPD, many people think it's a Personality Disorder, but it's not. Cluster B specifically refers to Personality Disorders.

Dissociative Disorders (including DPDR, DID, OSDD, and more!) are characterized by dissociation, or a disconnection from either reality or oneself. DID specifically is characterized by the presence of two or more personality states (often called alters in a medical context) that are highly differentiated (at least some alters have very differing personality, mannerisms, gender, sexuality, age, etc.) and with dissociative amnesia at least some of the time (which is the inability to remember things that happened when another alter was controlling the body/fronting). DID is frequently caused by childhood trauma.

People with DID (like Mod Orange, who is writing this) often refer to themselves as systems, but not all systems have DID, and not all systems are formed by trauma. Similarly, not all people with DID use system terminology to refer to themselves. Many systems have OSDD-1, P-DID, UDD, or are not clinically disordered at all.

Personality Disorders (PDs), on the other hand, are set of disorders characterized by rigid, inflexible, and maladaptive patterns of thoughts and behaviors. People with personality disorders often have trouble with self-perception and interpersonal relationships. Many personality disorders are formed through trauma.

Personality disorders are divided into three clusters: Cluster A (PDs with a tendency towards social withdrawal), Cluster B (PDs with a tendency towards overly emotional thinking and behavior), and Cluster C (PDs with a tendency towards anxious and fearful behaviors).

Cluster A includes PPD (Paranoid Personality Disorder), SzPD (Schizoid Personality Disorder), and StPD (Schizotypal Personality Disorder).

Cluster B (which this blog focuses on) includes ASPD (Antisocial Personality Disorder), BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), HPD (Histrionic Personality Disorder), and NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder).

Cluster C includes AvPD (Avoidant Personality Disorder), DPD (Dependent Personality Disorder), and OCPD (Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder)

This blog focuses on being a safe space for everyone with Cluster B PDs, since these PDs are very frequently demonized. There are other blogs and places across the internet that focus on other PDs, and on DID or systems. Hope this answers your question!

I just realized that cats are the literal embodiment of all personality disorders (which is probably why they're so amazing!):

PPD: suspicious of change

SZPD: loners & content to just chill in the same room as you for "socializing"

STPD: odd behavior

ASPD: easily annoyed

BPD: mood swings

HPD: needs attention 24/7

NPD: obviously superior

AVPD: skittish & anxious

DPD: "don't ever go away overnight ever again!"

OCPD: rigidity & stubbornness

Feel free to add more ways in which cats embody PDs!

@pd-culture-is for when they come off hiatus :)

(going off anon for this; any public or private responses welcome)

traumatized mixed pd/pdnos (ppd + bpd + hpd + npd + avpd + dpd) culture is just...being so fucking done.

you're too histrionic to go without attention from others, but you're too avoidant to fully accept it. you're too narcissistic to not think you're entitled to a better life, but you're too borderline to even know what you want that life to be. you're too dependent to be alone, but you're too paranoid to trust anyone fully in a relationship.

and THEN add the fact you've been abused to the point of developing said pds, and mix in the fact that people have abused you for being clustered (including other clustered individuals)...now you just feel like a psychologically immobile and emotionally volatile husk of a person.

augh.

its so bitterly funny to me that histrionic personality disorder, the disorder where the main thing is attention seeking behavior, gets so little attention/awareness surrounding it

do you ever wonder how many people who got sucked into narc abuse communities who were raised by "narcissistic" (abusive/toxic) parents actually have npd? npd is literally a trauma disorder 99% of the time, theres an extremely likely chance some of these people have npd but have been convinced they couldnt possibly because "if you think youre a narcissist, thats proof you arent." and obviously having npd/being a narcissist is a death sentence that means youre abusive /s. feels kinda anti-recovery ngl. 💀

anyways i think we should be able to acknowledge the misogynistic roots of hysteria and how that relates to the history of histrionic personality disorder without completely discounting, dismissing, and invalidating people who actually have hpd and actually fucking struggle with the symptoms lmao

at the end of the day i literally still struggle with an intense need for attention and pretty much most, if not all, of the criteria for hpd 💀 this is my very real lived experience and struggle, claiming thats not real isnt fucking fair or right

have some fucking nuance, folks

Personality Disorder Concepts: PD Case Conceptualisations

Sperry describes different ways of conceptualising personality disorders, i.e. summarising why PDs form in people, and how they work.

A case conceptualisation is made up of four components: the diagnostic formulation, clinical formulation, cultural formulation, and treatment formulation.

The diagnostic formulation describes the person’s psychiatric diagnosis and the severity of the disorder, i.e. “What happened?”

The clinical formulation describes why certain patterns form in people, i.e. “Why did it happen?”

Cultural formulation addresses the person’s cultural background in relation to their mental health, i.e. “What role does culture play?”

Treatment formulation takes information from all the components and figures out what can be done to help the person, i.e. “What can be done, and how?”

The best treatment integrates all these components, instead of focusing on only one.

There are different approaches to clinical formulations, including psychodynamic, biosocial, cognitive-behavioural, interpersonal, and integrative models.

The psychodynamic model analyses defense mechanisms which PDs arise from. For example, OCPD defense mechanisms are rationalisation, intellectualisation, and focusing on logic and facts instead of feelings.

The biosocial model looks at biological reasons for PDs. For example, low serotonin levels are related to impulsivity and aggression.

The cognitive-behavioural model looks at the patterns of behaviour and thinking of people with PDs. These include their core beliefs, their conditional beliefs, and their instrumental beliefs. For example, the core belief of a person with ASPD is that they must look out for themselves.

The interpersonal model analyses PDs from the perspective that parenting methods and childhood trauma are the reasons for PDs. For example, the parents of someone with AVPD held social image to a very high standard.

The integrative model combines the different models, i.e. a biopsychosocial analysis.

Case conceptualisations & clinical formulations of specific PDs:

AsPD

AvPD

BPD

DPD

HPD

NPD

OCPD

PPD

StPD

SzPD
