Abstract
Mood disorder is a relatively simple concept, while personality disorder is much more complex. Expansion of a mood disorder spectrum has been driven by a desire for simplicity, as well as the belief that patients with complex disorders can be treated effectively with the same drugs used for mood disorders. These trends are also consistent with the biological reductionism that dominates psychiatry and the medicalization of human suffering.
