- Cluster B Personality Disorders + Neurophysiology w/Annika
People like to throw around labels like “narcissist” and “sociopath” without having any real knowledge of what those conditions entail. So, I’m going to talk about everything they entail - from how people with Cluster B disorders operate, respond, and view the world, and why - specifically, what do we know about their underlying neuropathologies? What differences exist, structurally or functionally, between the brains of healthy controls and people with diagnosed Cluster B disorders? What have brain imagine studies revealed?
