Understanding Personality Disorders : VHS/DVD, The world of mental illness is one that is most often engulfed in shadows - shadows of the heart, shadows of the mind, and shadows of the soul. For many people, the onset of a psychological disorder goes undiagnosed and untreated, and, as a result, they face a constant, if not impossible, struggle to maintain good mental health. This can be especially true when individuals suffer from a personality disorder. Often referred to as quirks, eccentricities, or simply bad behavior, personality disorders can be mild enough to seem normal - and thus, go untreated - or severe enough to have a devastatingly negative impact upon a life. However, with identification and understanding, crippling personality disorders can be brought out of the shadows of ignorance and into the light of treatment.
