Personality disorders can be managed with the right treatement, prespective and willingness to change.
Not that they present as the same for every person. I think we should seperate between mental illness and actions taken by people, because even when actions are related to their mental illnesses, they still imply a level of a choice.
In my own life, and as a professional, I have met cases ranging from :
-non violent-------extremely destructive.
They can be anywhere on the spectrum.
Statistically speaking , NPD would not be as prevalent as it seem online. It became a trend for people to assign it to their ex because it would give a better relatable frame and sense of severity. Their conclusions are usually deductive. Same for other disorders. People who go online to vent , while labeling their ex any of that, aren't necessarily right, even if their trauma is true.
I was both raised by an aspd, and he was incredibly messes up person. Diagnosed and convicted. At courts, in most countries, you undergo two psychological evaluations to determine whether your mental illness affected your actions at the time of the crime, rather than if you have a mental illness. This is because it is agreeable the two are separate issues. He was convicted because he acted of his own accord.
The person I dated who has aspd never ever harmed me or abused me. He was good to me.
