People with personality disorder often have serious impairments but do not seek treatment because they are unable to recognize their own problems. Their distorted self-perception and view of reality often place them in the position of seeing themselves as the victim. Most individuals with personality disorders are considered treatable to varying degrees. Health insurance is not the reason the individual does not seek treatment.
