A personality disorder entails impairment in work or social function, not necessarily impairment in haranguing your doctor into signing a paper, or impairment in calling a number for a lawyer on a bus ad.
While I’ve mostly seen cases of cluster B getting SSD, I’d be curious what would happen for someone requesting it for dependent PD. Dr. E?
Unless one is in an acute affective, psychotic, or suicidal crisis that may be attributable to BPD, BPD does not make you unable to work/unemployable. It makes you likely to be a poor coworker and likely to be terminated secondary to this, I would think. Again folks, this is NOT how psychiatric disability is viewed by payers. And I would dare say it not how most of society defines it either.
