In the U.S., "personality disorder" diagnoses are used as a dumping ground for people that a given professional has trouble with. From what little I've heard, the UK system works similarly.

Everyone I've seen in the UK has been very reluctant to diagnose: the usual "it's a label; it doesn't help" spiel. So I think it depends on the doctor/clinic.
