In Girl, Interrupted, Susanna Kaysen dedicated two chapters of her book defining Borderline Personality Disorder and breaking down the diagnosis. Although she gives a good example of the disorder, I wanted to find out more about personality disorders in general. A great place to start is Crash Couse, an education Youtube Channel run by famous YouTubers John and Hank Green. The videos talk about Borderline Personality Disorder, the disorder Susanna was dignosised with, and also Antisocial Personality Disorder more commonly known as psychopathy or sociospathy. If Antisocial Personality Disorder had been defined in the 1960s, this is most likely what disorder Lisa would have been diagnosed with.
