Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Personality disorders are a class of mental disorders characterized by enduring mal-adaptive patterns of behavior, cognition and inner experience, exhibited across many contexts and deviating markedly from those accepted by the individual's culture. May be you have borderline personality disorder and due to excessive mood swings psychiatrist has prescribed you cymbalta.

Thanks
