“It is estimated that 10 percent to 13 percent of the world’s population suffer from some form of personality disorder. “

“Nearly 31 million Americans — 15% of the population — have at least one serious personality disorder, a new study ...”

” The prevalence of any personality disorder was 9.1% “

“The median prevalence rate for “any PD” across these studies is 10.56% and the mean prevalence rate is 11.39%”

The definitions for “personality disorders” are so vague and subjective that the criteria are utterly useless. They are convenient in the hands of a predatory psychologist looking for new patients to “diagnose,” but any objective inquirer can see that it’s total BS.
