Would mistrust be a mental disorder or a personality disorder?
Mistrust is a feature of both certain psychotic disorders, for example, paranoid schizophrenia, and some personality disorders, for example, paranoid personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, and schizoid personality disorder. In some cases the symptoms of those who suffer the above named personality disorders can become so severe that they can suffer brief reactive psychosis, particularly paranoid personality disorder. These people are very wary of others, to the point that they become isolated for fear that others want to harm them in some way. Personality disorders do not respond to psychiatric medications as readily as psychotic disorders do, and in many cases, particularly in paranoid personalty disorder, if the sufferer is in therapy it takes months or years for them to really begin to build trust in a therapist, and they are constantly analyzing everything the therapist says or does, looking for any reason not to trust the therapist anymore.
What is it called when someone thinks they are mentally unstable but they're really OK?

What are names of disorders?
This question is too vague to give a specific answer. Psychotic disorders are classified into specific groups. Here are a few examples though, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, somatoform disorders. If you want me to be more specific then, schizophrenia, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, panic disorders, bipolar, borderline, munchausen, anorexia nervosa, cyclothymic, major depressive, et cetera. If you're really interested, check DSM-IV for further information.

Can you be a consulting psychologist and work with people with presonality disorders?
Yes, but: 1. It would be most helpful to grasp just how many people with what appear to be personality disorders really have an underlying subclinical depression which may be completely relieved with an appropriate antidepressant. I can't tell you how many people have come to me with apparent personality disorders fulfilling all DSM criteria who were either completely cured with an antidepressant and no longer needed psychotherapy; or, while having their symptoms greatly relieved, now had gained sufficient ego strength that they could be better patients in psychotherapy. And let me add that many of these subclinical depressions do NOT necessarily fulfill DSM criteria for either Disthymic or Major Depressive Disorders. 2. Please forgive the apparent arrogance of this answer, but given the great advantages of using web browsers to obtain additional information on personality disorders, it is critical to check one's work so that the term "personality disorder" is spelled correctly--unless, of course, you have a very forgiving browser!

What are signs of mental problems?
The most obvious sign of mental disorder is disturbances of thought and perception, for example, delusions and/or hallucinations. Delusions are strongly held wrong beliefs despite any and all evidence to the contrary, no matter how logical the evidence is. For example, the belief that you are indestructible (delusions of grandeur), despite the fact that you are bleeding from a wound or cut. Hallucinations are things you see, hear, smell, or taste that aren't really there. This should be distinguished from simple illusions, in which you might hear one sound and mistake it for another, for example, thinking you heard someone call your name, or in which you might see what you mistake as movement out of the corner of your eye. Rather, an hallucination seems as real to the person experiencing it as the real thing would be. These disturbances in thought and perception usually leads to eccentricities of behavior or speech. However, some people with personality disorders, as opposed to psychotic disorders, may seem perfectly ordinary most of the time, and many with personality disorders can lead a fairly normal life and even have careers. Also, people with personality disorders do not generally hallucinate, though some types of personality disorders can be marked by delusional thought patterns.
Can you really be hypnotised?

Can people with narcissistic personality disorders really love in a mature adult way?
No. They are too self-centered, insecure and self-serving to really love anyone else. They cannot be helped and will not magically get better. They have to do it themselves. If you are trying to "get" a narcissist to love you or if you are hanging on hoping that he or she will change, forget it. It won't happen. You will be setting yourself up for a long, hard road. And you deserve better than that. ~ T
