There is no such thing as "PRE-PERSONALITY DISORDER" at all, but there is Personality Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified.
The DSM-IV-TR is the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4-Revised, and within this book is where the diagnostic criteria and codes are for a medically valid diagnosis (unless you are in the UK or various other countries where they use the ICD-10).
I really think the therapist or psychiatrist who diagnosed you as such owes you a much better explanation. Never leave a doctor or therapists office without knowing what you are diagnosed with and the basis for such a diagnosis. When you return, make sure you ask them the specifics.
