How do you live with a person who has antisocial personality disorder?
An old-fashioned name for antisocial personality disorder is psychopath. These are damaged people, and most of the damage was probably done during their childhoods. A person with antisocial personality disorder was most likely neglected or abused as a child. But the abuse and neglect doesn't have to be severe; even benign neglect can cause a person to develop this illness. Living with other people isn't easy. Whether they're a college dorm-mate, a roommate, a parent, a lover or a spouse, sharing daily living space with other human beings requires a lot of compromising and setting of rules in order. But the problem with antisocial disorder is that there are no specific medications for that condition. That means that only some sort of the psycho therapy, perhaps a group one might help. But of course, he has to have the will and desire for that. A family is like an orange: each segment is unique, but connected to make a whole. When member suffers, the entire family suffers. When a loved one in your family is suffering from one of the personality disorders, the entire family is under stress.There are many excellent therapists, counselors, and medical practitioners who specialize in treating personality disorders, but very often the caregivers are overlooked. Just as Mom and Dad can be taken for granted by the children, they can also be assumed to be doing just fine in such a stressful environment. It doesn't matter much what the personality disorder is when it concerns the well-being of the family. It could be borderline personality disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or manic depression. The caregivers need to be taken care of as well!

Are dual disorders possible such as narcissism and bipolar?
Yes. I have been to see a psychologist for help with my 69 year old mother-in-law, who, according to my husband, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in the 80's. According to the doctor many of these personality disorders can overlap. Without seeing my MIL personally, but hearing about her total lack of boundaries and abusive history with her own children and what she has subjected me to, she believes she is suffering from borderline/narcissistic personality disorder.
What is similar between schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder?
Although so-called schizophrenia is said to be a brain disease, while DID is acknowledged to be a psychological reaction to traumatic life events, so far no evidence has been found to support this distinction, and prove the brain disease hypothesis of schizophrenia to be true. In fact, newer research strongly indicates that both are caused by childhood trauma. Dissociation is not restricted to DID, but can be observed in schizophrenia as well. If a person is labelled with schizophrenia or DID depends on to which extent dissociation in relation to other trauma responses is predominant. If a fight, flight, or freeze response is predominant, the person will most likely be labelled with schizophrenia. If dissociation is the predominant feature she will probably be labelled with DID.
