Prognosis
|
Personality disorders which do not bring about the social isolation of the individual, such as the dissocial, emotionally unstable (impulsive, borderline), histrionic and dependent do seem to become less florid over time. As they grow older they have fewer crises and make less demands upon services.
In contrast, personality disorders which isolate the individual from opportunities to learn from experience, such as the paranoid, schizoid and anankastic change little and may actually become more fixed as the person ages.
