What if everything you thought you knew about personality disorders was wrong? In this special series, we promise to challenge your perceptions and provide new insights into Cluster B Personality Disorders. Our journey begins with Impulsive Disregard Disorder (IDD), or what many know as Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). We explore the core traits of IDD, such as impulsivity, lack of remorse, and a pervasive disregard for the rights of others, while debunking 50 common misconceptions that cloud our understanding. Our goal is to foster empathy and understanding, moving away from stigmatized labels and towards a more nuanced perspective on these complex conditions.

As we continue our exploration, we also tackle Extreme Self-Focus Disorder, Emotional Intensity Disorder, and Dramatic Attention-Seeking Disorder—our terms for Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Histrionic Personality Disorder, respectively. By breaking down the myths and stigmas surrounding these disorders, we aim to provide you with accurate information and encourage compassion. Whether you're a mental health professional, someone living with these disorders, or simply curious about the intricacies of human psychology, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we challenge assumptions, promote understanding, and emphasize the importance of seeking professional help for diagnosis and treatment.
