Obsessive Compulsive
Personality Disorder (301.4) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (301.81) with a standby diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. It is rumored he inspected the floors of
factories to find dust, and other harmless specks of what he thought reflected an enabler of
poor conduct & discipline
More importantly, the case of Steve Jobs is another proof that people with mental issues can still be an
outstanding members of our society. They just need the right understanding, attitudes,support.
Steve Jobs did not have a history of hospitalization due to mental reasons, but he did informally seek
mental therapies
by understanding Steve better, we may learn how to collaborate and support people like Steve better.
Steve had been very self centered, and that it was his job to teach people aesthetics and what they
should like
The paper still considers Borderline Personality Disorder - 301.83 - as Steve did inhibit symptoms of:
patterns of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships (strong evidence), affective instability due
to a marked reactivity of mood, chronic feelings of emptiness (weak evidence), uncontrollable anger
(strong evidence), stress-related paranoid ideation (weak evidence).
e, Steve Jobs had developed a solid image of himself as a special genius, and he had no respect for
authority, especially his teachers. In classes, he would sit in a corner and did his own things.
His closest involvement with psychiatric treatment was when he participated in Arthur Janov’s Primal
Therapy center in Los Angeles Isaacson (2013).
