Question

If some one had a personality disorders type f60.2, and was discharged from the military, what should happen?

I mean to say what course of action would be put into motion if he had a personality disorders type f60.2, would he be put in to a special mental health hospital with immediate effect, would he be a danger to society? and if he had such an illness would he have been able to join the military in the first place? and if he had such an illness what treatment would he have to have? and would he respond to antidepressants? how sick would he be if he had a personality disorders type f60.2 ?

Answer 1

Antidepressants would not help unless depression had also been diagnosed.

"f60.2" would fit into an Antisocial Personality Disorder.  It might be that he could benefit greatly from therapy.

Such a disorder could easily be aggrivated by serving in the military, it would not be advisable that such an individual be subjected to such rigor and stress.

Alarmingly, many males suffer from mild forms of such personality disorders due to unrealistic societal pressures placed on them and the forced emotional and sexual repression they face, especially in unsupportive social environments typically found within the military where males are denied any meaningful connection with others around them.

Even though such personality disorders come with convenient labels, there's no way to tell without seeing the complete screening.  It's more of a spectrum in which the individual can express from mild to severe.

Here are some diagnostic features.  As you will see, there is indeed a spectrum present:

(a) callous unconcern for the feelings of others;

(b) gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules and obligations;

(c) incapacity to maintain enduring relationships, though having no difficulty in establishing them;

(d) very low tolerance to frustration and a low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence;

(e) incapacity to experience guilt and to profit from experience, particularly punishment;

(f) marked proneness to blame others, or to offer plausible rationalizations, for the behaviour that has brought the patient into conflict with society.

There may also be persistent irritability as an associated feature. Conduct disorder during childhood and adolescence, though not invariably present, may further support the diagnosis.

Includes:

* amoral, antisocial, asocial, psychopathic, and sociopathic personality (disorder)

Excludes:

* conduct disorders

* emotionally unstable personality disorder
