TI  - The overlap between personality disorders and major depressive disorder (MDD).
PG  - 217-24
AB  - BACKGROUND: Research studies have focused attention on the importance of the 
      comorbidity of personality disorders and depression. METHODS: The present review 
      examines seven potential explanations for the overlap to clarify the nature of 
      the relationship, if any, between depression and personality disorder diagnoses. 
      RESULTS: There may be many explanations for the potential overlap of personality 
      disorders (PD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). For example, the distinction 
      between states and traits may not be as clear and definitive as suggested in the 
      DSM-IV. In some cases, depression may influence personality pathology, and may 
      even lead to personality disorders. In other cases, personality disorders may 
      lead to MDD. CONCLUSION: Further research may clarify the nature of the 
      relationship, if any, between depression and personality disorder diagnoses, as 
      well as the relationship between comorbidity and treatment response.
