    I would suggest first talking to your family doctor about it and if they think you need to see a psychiatrist or a psychologist then got see one and maybe they will advise you to one. One the cost side I'm not sure about that.

    A personality disorder isn't really a big deal unless they are dissociative. I MOOD disorder or a CHEMICAL disorder is a big deal.

    Here's how to break PD's down.

    narcissistic - you are a jerk who thinks the world revolves around you.

    histrionic - you are a drama queen who wishes the world revolved around you.

    borderline - you are a needy clingy person who never feels sure that they are loved

    schizoid - you want to be left alone

    schizotypal - you think magic is real and you're afraid of most people

    Mood disorders

    Bipolar or Major Depressive

    Chemical/Neurological disorders

    Schizophrenia

    Dementia

    Psychotic

    Talk to a psychiatrist. Psychologists can't even prescribe meds.
