Pero bilang psychiatrist, ang focus naming mga psychiatrists or psychologists ay &#x27;yung mga flaws nga o kamalian o weaknesses sa pag-uugali,&quot; explained Dellosa.</p><p>&quot;Ngayon po, sa mga pagsusuri ko sa mga presidentiables, hindi lang sa elections ngayon, kung hindi sa past din, palaging apat &#x27;yung personality disorder na mapapansin sa kanila,&quot; Dellosa added.</p><p>Dellosa, who is both a clinical psychologist and a medical doctor specializing in psychiatry, identified four common personality disorders among these political leaders.</p><div><strong>Anti-social personality disorder</strong></div><p>One of the most common types of personality disorders among politicians, according to Dellosa, is the anti-social personality disorder.</p><p>&quot;Ang ibig sabihin ng anti-social ay &#x27;yung taong medyo may pagka-sociopath o psychopath,&quot; he explained. &quot;Ang sociopath po or psychopath ay &#x27;yung may criminal tendencies.&quot;</p><p>However, Dellosa clarified that not all who have anti-social personality disorder will become criminals later on.</p><p>&quot;Ang anti-social personality, ang tinutukoy doon ay &#x27;yung paglabag sa batas ng society o ng kultura, or pag-ignore ng mga batas na &#x27;yon,&quot; he added.</p><p>According to Dellosa, people with anti-social disorders experience get some kind of thrill whenever they get away with their infractions.</p><p>Dellosa added that people with anti-social personality disorders lack conscience and compassion.</p><p>&quot;&quot;Yung isa pang kulang sa mga anti-social na personalities ay &#x27;yung pagkawala ng konsensya or kulang sa compassion,&quot; Dellosa explained. &quot;Primitibo &#x27;yung konsensya niya, hindi masyado na-develop. Para sa kanya, baka okay lang &#x27;yun, pero labag na pala &#x27;yun sa batas.&quot;</p><p>Dellosa added that those with this personality disorder have no remorse for their wrongdoings.</p><p>&quot;&#x27;Yung isang trait ng anti-social ay &#x27;yung madaling mairita. Tuloy, nagiging agresibo. And then, padalos-dalos &#x27;yung desisyon. Meron siyang bibitawang salita, pero later on, wala siyang remorse, wala siyang pagsisisi sa ginawa niyang mali. Hindi siya mag-a-apologize.&quot;</p><p>Dellosa confirmed that based on his observations, the anti-social personality disorder is present among the current presidential bets.</p><p>&quot;Idagdag ko lang po sa anti-social, pwede rin po silang maging corrupt. Dahil lumalabag sila sa batas, that means pwede silang mangurakot, mag-engage in graft and corruption,&quot; explained Dellosa.</p><div><strong>Narcissistic personality disorder</strong></div><p>Next on the list is the narcissistic personality disorder.</p><p>&quot;Ang narcissistic personality disorder po ay &#x27;yung mga taong arogante, matapobre, feeling nila, sila &#x27;yung better people. Lahat ng iba, nasa ilalim nila,&quot; he explained.</p><p>He added that those with narcissistic personality disorder would not normally listen to other people&#x27;s advice &quot;unless feeling nila, ka-level nila &#x27;yung taong &#x27;yun.&quot;</p><p>He noted that people with narcissistic personality disorder may sometimes appear kind, especially if it will serve their purpose.</p><p>&quot;Posible rin silang maging mabait na tao. Kaya lang, ang purpose noon, e para magka-utang na loob sila sa kanya,&quot; Dellosa clarified. &quot;Para makagamit ng tao, or para marinig nila &#x27;yung complement sa kanila.&quot;</p><div><strong>Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder</strong></div><p>Third on the list of most common types of personality disorders among politicians is the obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.</p><p>&quot;Ito po &#x27;yung mga taong perfectionist, matataas ang standard and usually, pinipilit nila &#x27;yung standard nila sa ibang tao,&quot; Dellosa said.</p><p>Compared with those who have anti-social personality disorder, people with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are stickler to rules.</p><p>&quot;Ito pong obsessive-compulsive, sila po &#x27;yung mas susunod sa batas. Pero over. Metikuloso,&quot; explained Dellosa. &quot;Ang anti-social, hindi susunod sa batas. Meron siyang sariling batas para matupad &#x27;yung goal.&quot;</p><p>Dellosa pointed out that most successful leaders have manifested some degree of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.</p><p>&quot;Lahat po ng successful na leaders ay may pagka-OC,&quot; said Dellosa. &quot;Sometimes, very workaholic din sila. Mabusisi sa trabaho. Metikuloso sa trabaho. &#x27;Yun naman ang nagpapa-successful sa kanila. Pero dahil nakakapagod &#x27;yung ginagawa nila, nagkakasakit sila. Na-stress.&quot;</p><div><strong>Mixed-type personality disorder</strong></div><p>Dellosa said that the fourth type of most common personality disorders among politicians would be a combination of all three.</p><p>&quot;Itong may mga personality disorder na mixed-type, halo-halo, lahat labis ang traits,&quot; he said.</p><p>Asked if based on his observation, he sees any of the presidential candidates to show signs of a mixed-type personality disorder, Dellosa said: &quot;Yes, but hindi po masyadong malakas &#x27;yung traits.&quot;</p>
