phasmid posted:Yeah, I missed this one too. So that's another point in the column of "Tony may actually have a personality disorder"? They allude to it sometimes but I never think they said antisocial, borderline or anything outside of the context with Melfi and her therapist. Longtime thread lurker first time thread poster Have I missed something? I thought the general consensus was that despite whatever original court order puts tony soprano in that therapy room, he continues to go because he & his therapist, Dr. Melfi recognise that he has significant personality disorders. Not that they would've gone that in depth into the psychoanalysis in the early 00s but im pretty sure anxiety and panic attacks the way tony had them are highly comorbid with many serotonin-affecting disorders. Of course take this with a grain (or spoonful) of salt, i'm no expert.

Pope Corky the IX posted:Tony wasn’t ordered by a court to go to therapy, Melfi was recommended by Cusamano. Ok, I rewatched recently and was under a different impression but then I may just have been confirmation biasing myself. Whether he was court ordered there or reccomended is the point, I think it's pretty self-explanatory that someone having anxiety & panic attacks has some kind of disorder triggering them usually.

escape artist posted:It's a mood disorder. Personality disorders are different. Fair play, is that the modern ICD-10 or DSM....V? definition, if so then I was completely wrong lol. Seems like there's a fair overlap in the case of depression though.
