Abstract

Approximately 9.6% of Americans have a personality disorder. 1, 2 These are common conditions, and all medical professionals encounter these patients in their practice. Early identification of these patients is ideal. In the following we discuss how patients with these psychiatric conditions may present to an outpatient pain clinic, and we provide suggestions for management.
