== Individuals with more than one personality disorder ==
According to the American Psychiatry Association: "Technically, according to DSM-5*, a person can receive more than one personality disorder diagnosis. People who are diagnosed with a personality disorder most often qualify for more than one diagnosis. A person with a severe personality disorder might meet the criteria for four, five or even more disorders! In practice, clinicians usually recognize that meeting more criteria for personality disorders means more severe disorder."<ref>[https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/personality-disorders/expert-q-and-a#:~:text=Technically%2C%20according%20to%20DSM%2D5,five%20or%20even%20more%20disorders!
