What's the difference between a 'mental illness' and a 'personality disorder'?
 

Squealer will know but if anybody else does or has an opinion post away.

I would say this:

Top-category: mental illness
Sub-category: personality disorder


-Mental illness
--Personality disorder

Unlike mental illness, personality disorder can often be cured with a punch.

I would just go to google.com, and not here:

The distinction between personality disorder and mental illness | The British Journal of Psychiatry

Politics

The DSM-V is the main diagnostic tool used the world over - Personality disorders are absolutely a type of 'Mental Illness'...

the big difference is the type of drugs the mental health system pushes to treat them.
