How could I go about obtaining a personality disorder. All of my friends have one, and I want one too.

Unfortunately, "Personality disorder" is the catch-all diagnosis that alot of psychiatrists are using for mentally ill women. My personal opinion is that doctors use this way too often, usually when they are confused or unsure about a patient's condition. I'd be willing to bet that most of these friends of yours where diagnosed in 15 minutes or less. This is the typical doctor's office visit these days. I'm afraid to say that if you search long enough, you probably will find a doctor to "give" you this diagnosis. Wishing you well, Dawn
