Haltlose Personality Disorder awareness flag

Meant to mirror the ASPD awareness flag.

Haltlose Personality Disorder (HLPD)

Haltlose personality disorder is a mental illness that displays as selfishness, blaming others for the actions they have committed, lacking direction in life and a lack of insight and self-control. They are unable to learn from experience or mistakes in life since they lack any sense of past or future, and are not able to genuinely care about other people.

Other Personality Disorders

This post is about personality disorders that used to exist in the DSM or ICD but don’t anymore. You cannot be diagnosed with these disorders, as they’re not in any diagnostic manual; you would be diagnosed with Other Specified Personality Disorder (or the ICD-11 equivalent) instead.

Passive-Aggressive / Negativistic (PA/NegPD)

A pervasive pattern of negativistic attitudes and passive resistance to demands for adequate performance, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts.

Masochistic / Self-Defeating (Ma/SDPD)

A pervasive pattern of self-defeating behavior, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts. The person may often avoid or undermine pleasurable experiences, be drawn to situations or relationships in which he or she will suffer, and prevent others from helping him or her.

Sadistic (SaPD)

A pervasive pattern of cruel, demeaning, and aggressive behavior, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts.

Depressive / Melancholic (De/MePD)

A pervasive pattern of depressive cognitions and behaviors, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts.

Other Personality Disorders

Turbulent

Turbulent PD has never existed in any DSM. It’s part of Millon’s theorised personality disorder taxonomy, but doesn’t appear in any other literature.

It seems to be an alternate way of categorising and defining hypomania & cyclothymic disorder, and is similar to ADHD, NPD & HPD.

Millon classes it on a spectrum from ebullient personality type -> exuberant personality style -> turbulent personality disorder.

Haltlose

Theorised in German, Russian, and French psychiatry.

Haltlose translates to “unstable” (literally, “without footing”) and refers to a “drifting, aimless and irresponsible lifestyle: a translation might be ‘lacking a hold' on life or onto the self)”.

“Those with haltlose personality disorder have features of frontal lobe syndrome, sociopathic and histrionic personality traits”.

Someone with haltlose PD “lacks concentration and persistence”, and “lives in the present only”. They are “easily persuaded, and [are] often led astray”.

Haltlose PD is similar to AsPD as there is “an inability to learn from experience, and no sincere sense of remorse”. They are often described as ‘lovable rouges’.

(Cullivan, R, ‘‘Haltlose’ type personality disorder (ICD-10 F60.8)’, Psychiatric Bulletin, 1998, pp. 58-59).

Immature

Immature PD was mentioned in the DSM-III as a specifier for Other Specified PD, but removed in later editions.

It seems to be a combination of borderline, histrionic, narcissistic, antisocial, dependent, schizoid and avoidant PDs.

Almeida et al. suggest the following criteria for Immature PD: irresponsibility; impulsivity; unreliability; easily swayed; mood swings; expect overindulgence from others; dependency on others; ability for remorse or regret but it’s “light and fleeting”; inability to manage assets; inability to follow plans; quick to lie; unable to delay gratification; quick to frustration; devaluation of others; risk-taking behaviour; unstable relationships and behaviour; feels both entitled and worthless; attention seeking; recklessness; shyness; ungrateful; over-familiar with others; unable to plan for the future; substance use.

They also suggest 3 subtypes of Immature PD: the dramatic and emotional subtype, the shy subtype, and the mixed subtype.

(Almeida et al., 'Immature Personality Disorder: Contribution to the Definition of this Personality', Clinical Neuroscience & Neurological Research, 2019, pp. 1-16).

Eccentric and Psychoneurotic

These two personality disorders existed only as ‘other specified’ PDs in the ICD-10, where no definition is given.

I literally just emailed Dr. Barkley directly and he agreed with me that Haltlose personality disorder was ADHD, and he said that people with ADHD do have working memory deficits along with inhibition issues taxing the working memory.

I need to find some friends that will go drinking with me on a Thursday night. Like I said I need to do coke with someone who has haltlose personality disorder (SATIRE)

[d0l0r0us]

Dissapointed that there’s no Haltlose Personality Disorder community on Tumblr

I was reading about it and it fits me every step of the way. Even my partner (long distance/involuntary separation) strongly agrees like “wow that sounds so much like you”. So I’ll tag myself. Hey, if you’re also Haltlose come and interact. I don’t bite…much

[pathologising]

Literally just found out about the ICD because I stumbled across someone with haltlose personality disorder and I'm so disappointed it isn't as widely known as the DSM :/

iirc the dsm is only used in the usa as like an official diagnostic tool because it’s mandated by the APA. the icd is used internationally (physicians in the us DO use the icd for insurancs and billing and statistical purposes, just not as a diagnostic tool). 

[eatmoresoylentgreen]

I’d go hang out with this person

[whypolar]

Apparently icd-10 has a diagnosis called “haltlose personality disorder”. The phrasing in the description is fairly insulting/dismissive imo. Why is psychiatry like this

Might as well just straight-up write “I think you’re a frivolous dumbass” in the evaluation notes

I think I'm haltlose. I'm charming and ebullient, but I shy away from the expectations of others and seem to flee from anything that is stressful or boring. I literally procrastinate everything, but to the point of me telling myself it's okay, I can manipulate my way out of this later. I used to talk about my past a lot, but I'm not really upset about anything that's happened to me. I sometimes get so bored that I make myself upset, but c'est la vie. 

But I guess there's no real clear-cut between haltlose and histrionic. I'm vain but I am not really like hysterical with emotion. I'm told I'm very animated, however. I guess maybe I'm haltlose because I seek partners and affection as a solution for boredom rather than to supply my emotional needs or idk. 

Haltlose just kind of seems like a non-emotional histrionic, without having to be the center of attention. It's like catalystic to other disordered people. 

I guess I don't know myself very well.

[patricide1885]

ADHD isn't real it's actually just been Haltlose Personality Disorder the whole time. We are hedonistic grifters that must be controlled by strong external authorities. Just overly sensitive psychopaths with a guilt problem and a extremely unfavorable prognosis 🖤

Haltlose.

Haltlosen, once upon a time, was a term common among European psychiatrists, that was, until the publication of the DSM III and its predecessors. 

The English word that comes closest to the German adjective 'haltlos' in this context is 'groundless'. In fact, the relevant passage appears in the English translation of Jaspers' General Psychopathology (1963) as follows:

"Those who have no will power at all, the drifters, simply echo any influence that impinges on them....." I think 'drifters' in this translation is a fairly adequate rendering of 'die Haltlosen'. 

The reason for retaining the term was that it used to be familiar to many European psychiatrists. With the impoverishment of psychiatric vocabulary, which unfortunately is a side-effect of the DSM-III and its predecessors, the connotative heritage in psychiatric heritage tends to be lost. 

I think psychiatric vocabulary could be my thing. I love researching specific words to death and how they define themselves against other words. I'm always talking about how things are alike and how things are different, and different ways they can be interpreted.
