Personality disorders are resistant to treatment efforts. Individuals with personality

disorders rarely volunteer for treatment. Many times, they seek therapy because of
external pressure, from the courts, or from demands by friends and family. Should we
invest the effort to "cure" individuals who believe that they do not have any problems?
Explain. When might forced treatment be appropriate, if ever? Explain your
thoughts.

Drug therapy is a must and should be administered accordingly. Although different personality determines such administration, drug therapy should not be enforced on anyone rather the importance should be made known before administration.

Answer: often times, people with personality disorders do not believe they have a problem, as the disorder seems appropriate to them. It therefore becomes necessary when people that are close to them could recognize that the disorder is affecting their livelihood and the lives of people around them. They will be forced to talk to a psychiatrist at that point
