Enjoy the "Did You Know" segment, where information about various and sundry interesting (or ridiculously disgusting) facts about what I am learning in medical school are broken down.
DID YOU KNOW...
Have you ever met anyone who always sees groups of people as black and white - I don't mean the color of their skin, but in terms of like or dislike? For example, have you ever met anyone who says that when they visit the Doctor's office, they find all the nurses incompetent, evil and useless, but they just loooovvve the Doctor?
If so, you might know somebody with Borderline Personality Disorder. According to the National Institute of Mental Health website, this person probably has instability in their moods, interpersonal relationships, self-image and behavior. These people can't regulate their emotions and will often try to hurt themselves, without necessarily having suicidal intent. Almost 20% of psych admissions are people with Borderline Personality Disorder! And almost always, this occurs in females.
NOW YOU KNOW!
For the love of the deity, please tell me you're not wasting time studying Behavioral Sciences.
