Chapter 5-13: Separation Because of Personality Disorder
A soldier may be separated for personality disorder (not amounting to disability) that interferes with assignment or with performance of duty. This condition is a deeply ingrained maladaptive pattern of behavior of long duration that interferes with the soldier’s ability to perform duty. The diagnosis of personality disorder must be established by a psychiatrist or a doctoral-level clinical psychologist with necessary and appropriate professional credentials who is privileged to conduct mental health evaluations for DOD components.
