Video Transcription
There is a genetic predisposition to personality disorder, so the genetic component tends to be something about an actual vulnerability to experiencing very intense emotional states. So people tend to have what we call a sort of very heightened emotional vulnerability, so they tend to react to difficult situations much more intensely than somebody else, and it tends to take them much longer to calm down or to return to baseline of sort of an emotional state in which the person feels calm.
