Re: Cluster B personality disorder
Hi @Bubbles3,
Cluster B is not a diagnosis. There are ten personality disorders in the current edition of the DSM-V. These are divided into clusters A, B and C. The cluster B personality disorders are: Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic and Narcissistic personality disorder.

Re: Cluster B personality disorder
@Bubbles3 I can 100% guarantee you that "cluster B" is not a diagnosis. If a mental health professional has diagnosed you with "cluster B personality disorder" I would strongly recommend you get a second opinion.

Re: Cluster B personality disorder
@Bubbles3 As I said, "cluster B" refers to a subset of the 10 personality disorders. There are three clusters; A, B, and C. Within cluster B, there are four personality disorders. The clusters are a way of categorising personality disorders that have similar features.

Re: Cluster B personality disorder
perhaps your psychiatrist is saying that you have some of the traits commonly associated with the personality disorders within cluster B or that he feels you have a diagnosis of several of them.. might be worth asking him/her for further clarification. Can be confusing. I had to have several psychiatric assessments for fam court ( 😞 ) and the two psychiatrists wrote in very different ways and gave different diagnoses though were on the same sort of page about some things too. Might be worth researching some of the disorders maybe... and seeing what you feel you identify with and have questions ready for your psych.. i often mis hear or mis interpret what im told in meetings when im stressed or not really all there mentally... often have had to ask for help to find out what's really what...
hope your afternoon got better 🙂 @Bubbles3

Re: Cluster B personality disorder
Going off what others have said and also the link youve given here @Bubbles3 my interpretation is that you havent the diagnosis of cluster b but you have some triats relating to one/or more of the individual disorder but isnt clear as to which one they want to label you under as in give you the label of borderline personality disorder or the likes.
