Dear Colleagues,
In the United States personality disorders affect 10-15% of the adult population, and research indicates that personality disorders exist and can be diagnosed in adolescents. Patients with personality disorders are at a higher risk for comorbid conditions. Today's newsletter provides resources on diagnosis and treatment.
