“…The authors of the investigation concluded that almost half of those with a PD are likely to have an Axis I disorder. The rates of Cluster C disorders are much higher in the USA than Mexico, causing the stark difference between these countries in PD prevalence (Benjet et al, 2008). This result is in line with the idea of the impact that modern society has on PDs that was mentioned in the preceding section.…”

“…Data on the prevalence of PDs in a middle-low income Latin American country such as Mexico indicate lower PD rates. The Mexican National Comorbidity Survey was conducted in a large representative sample (n = 2362) of the Mexican urban adult population (Benjet, Borges, & Medina-Mora, 2008). The International Personality Disorder Examination tool was used.…”

This article reviews cross-cultural research on personality disorders. The concept of personality disorders is discussed in terms of whether they are universal phenomena or specific to Western society. Then, research on the prevalence of personality disorders in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia is reviewed. The overall rates of the prevalence of personality disorders range from 2.40% to 20.00%. The data document that the prevalence of borderline and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders is the highest, especially in highincome countries. The cross-cultural differences in the prevalence of the specified personality disorders are explained by its influencing factors such as race, ethnicity, social requirements, and the dimension of individualism-collectivism. The occurrence of personality disorders across cultures suggests some degree of psychological unity, and in turn, similarities in the neurobiological mechanisms of personality disorders.

“…National surveys investigating the prevalence of PDs in the general population have been conducted in the United States (Grant et al, 2004b; Grant et al, 2004c; Lenzenweger et al, 2007), Great Britain (Coid et al, 2006), Australia (Jackson & Burgess, 2004), Norway (Alnaes et al, 1990), and Mexico (Benjet et al, 2008). However, to our knowledge, only 1 nationally representative survey has reported on the prevalence and correlates of a broad range of PDs among individuals diagnosed with PTSD based on direct assessment of the entire respondent sample.…”

Background While it is well known that personality disorders are associated with trauma exposure and PTSD, limited nationally representative data are available on DSM-IV personality disorders that co-occur with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and partial PTSD. Methods Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 34,653 adults participating in the Wave 2 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions. Logistic regression analyses controlling for sociodemographics and additional psychiatric comorbidity evaluated associations of PTSD and partial PTSD with personality disorders. Results Prevalence rates of lifetime PTSD and partial PTSD were 6.4% and 6.6%, respectively. After adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics and additional psychiatric comorbidity, respondents with full PTSD were more likely than trauma controls to meet criteria for schizotypal, narcissistic, and borderline personality disorders (ORs=2.1–2.5); and respondents with partial PTSD were more likely than trauma controls to meet diagnostic criteria for borderline (OR=2.0), schizotypal (OR=1.8), and narcissistic (OR=1.6) PDs. Women with PTSD were more likely than controls to have obsessive-compulsive PD. Women with partial PTSD were more likely than controls to have antisocial PD; and men with partial PTSD were less likely than women with partial PTSD to have avoidant PD. Conclusions PTSD and partial PTSD are associated with borderline, schizotypal, and narcissistic personality disorders. Modestly higher rates of obsessive-compulsive PD were observed among women with full PTSD, and of antisocial PD among women with partial PTSD.
