| So I've tried googling this but couldn't find a list of symptoms. Jenny, have you learned anything about this? |

That's odd. I completed my MD thesis on personality disorders and depression and I never came across this. Apparently neither has ICD-10. Gonna check DSM-V for the sake of it as well.
all I found is this: http://apt.rcpsych.org/content/9/5/349
EDIT: Nothing in DSM-V eiter. If you want, I can drop a mail to my assistant-professor of psychiatry and ask her. Btw, I might have a study about personality disorders and depression published soon.
"The White Paper Reforming the Mental Health Act. Part II: High Risk Patients (hereafter referred to as the White Paper) identified these individuals as dangerous and severely personality disordered (DSPD) (Department of Health, 2000). This phrase has been attacked as ‘a neologism that has no legal or medical status’ (Farnham & James, 2001)" |

I've read some of the contents of the link you posted. That's pretty damned scary. I'd be interested in reading your study, if you'd like to share it. |

| In all truthfulness, this entire 'mental patients are dangerous' has been completely exaggerated by pop-culture. I've done anamnesis on a couple of people suffering from antisocial personality disorder (i.e psychopaths) and they were relaxed as hell. Sure, one of them tried to kill his brother with a knife, but other than that, most were ok. The most dangerous - according to psychiatric guidelines - are maniacs (or bipolars during manic phase) and epileptics after the crisis due to confusion. Schizophrenics, which I´ve probably spoken to the most, have never exhibited any violent behaviour, although they were into remission and there was history of some stuff during psychosis episodes. |

| Out of curiosity, in the US are all physicians allowed to prescribe antipsychotic medication or only psychiatrists? |

Like in Canada I think GPs or family doctors in the US can prescribe stuff like anti-depressants, but I doubt they know enough about psychosis/schizo/bi-polar to be able to get the dosage right and stuff.
My GP here thought I was depressed and put me on some medication I forget the name of (anti-depressant) but it turns out I wasn't depressed, just crazy :) |
