It Makes Sooo Much Sense That Personality Disorders Are Considered As Ego-syntonic While Other Psychiatric

it makes sooo much sense that personality disorders are considered as ego-syntonic while other psychiatric disorders are ego-dystonic.

so that means ppl like myself with personality disorders see their behavior as natural, like there isnt anything genuinely wrong basically because its deeply ingrained and maladaptive- like how my symptoms feel like they have always been there and i didnt know it was a problem until i got diagnosed.

while "ego-dystonic" are like for example, someone with an anxiety disorder knows something is wrong and wants to actually fix it, a depressed person doesn't wish to be depressed, etc. so thats very interesting

basically its asking are you okay with the way you are- even if it means removing the symptoms you feels that are apart of your personality? majority of people with a psych condition would want it gone but you cant say the same for people with personality disorders.
