Psychiatric Morbidity Among Bankers in Southwest Nigeria

According to the PICI model, there are six personality disorders in the neurotic area (anxious, phobic, obsessive, somatic, avoidant, and manic), and the diagnosis of psychopathological disorder is determined based on the persistence of certain dysfunctional traits present in the personality framework. Based on clinical experience and through the application of the IPM/PICI, Deca, PDM, PHEM and PPP-DNA models, it was found that all disorders in the neurotic area had anxiety traits in common and that symptoms of the six different disorders were often present in comorbidity. This assumption led to the hypothesis of a different and better way to group them into one all-encompassing category: "Neurotic Personality Disorder" (NPD). Based on this construct, it is suggested to perform the same nosographic operations for the other personality disorders, grouping 7 personality disorders (bipolar, depressive, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic, antisocial, psychopathic) from the psychopathological area related to Cluster B of DSM-5-TR and PICI-3 into "Dramatic Personality Disorder" (DPD) and 4 other personality disorders (delusional, paranoid, dissociative, schizophrenic spectrum) from the psychopathological area related to Cluster A of DSM-5-TR and Cluster C of PICI-3 into "Psychotic Personality Disorder" (PPD). This paper aims to suggest their use to facilitate psychopathological framing.
