“Personality disorder?”
Hello, I was just wondering. Is it possible for someone with a personality disorder to still have a normal looking brain scan? Has it ever happened?

The usual "brain scan" or more specifically an MRI scan will always be normal in a person with a personality disorder. A personality disorder is a functional disorder, not a structural one so the brain scan is normal appearing.
In patients with personality disorder without any organic causes, the brain scan is usually normal.
