In most patients the abnormal features become apparent as early as childhood and adolescence, and remain hidden or ignored until adulthood. Personality traits are considered abnormal only to the extent that they are conflicting for the subject or society. Undoubtedly, the most frequent additional diagnosis in subjects with personality disorders is depression (or affective disorders). An important trend in current psychopathological research is the description of Personality Disorders in terms that allow for a reliable differential diagnosis. 

A thorough and systematic mental status examination is essential in the assessment of patients presenting a psychotic disorder or personality disorder. On the other hand, bipolar disorder is another syndrome that has a characteristic impact at the family level. Moreover, as it is an episodic disease that often returns after the acute episode to previous levels of normal functioning, the immediate consequence is that the individual between episodes tends to work, marry and have children in spite of his/her disease, because given the absence of symptoms, he/she is in a position to do so.
