Ever wonder why your colleague or family member behaves so strangely? He or she has not been working for long periods and even if they found work, cannot stay long at any job. They have difficulty relating to people, and seem to be misfits in society. Some even have chronic self-harm tendencies.
It is most likely that such persons are suffering from a personality disorder (PD).
These are one of the least understood conditions in psychiatry for which treatment results are disappointing. They cause a lot of suffering to themselves and others, and are not easy to diagnose or manage.
We will examine this topic from a biblical perspective. A spiritual approach is the best way forward towards life transformation. It may take time but the Lord is in the business of moulding and shaping our personalities into alignment with His. But the question is whether we will allow Him to do so.
