I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I'm trying to research the prevalence of specific personality disorders and am coming up empty. Well, not entirely empty. I did find that the prevalence of personality disorders in the US is approximately 9.1% of the general population and numbers for two specific personality disorders (Borderline PD was 1.6% I believe). Specifically I was looking for schitzotypal PD but anything will help. Thank you.

Here's one link that I found:

Hello. I own the DSM V and they have all the statistics for each mental illness in the book, so here is the statistics of each specific personality disorder for you.

Paranoid personality disorder: National Comorbidity Survey Replication suggests 2.3%. National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions suggests 4.4%.
Schizoid personality disorder: National Comorbidity Survey Replication suggests 4.9%. National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions suggests 3.1%.
Schizotypal personality disorder: National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions suggests 3.9%. Community studies state between 0.6 to 4.6%. In clinical population, prevalence is 0 to 1.9%.
Antisocial personality disorder: 12 month prevalence rates using previous DSMs are between 0.2% to 3.3%.
Borderline personality disorder: Median population prevalence is roughly 1.6%, but may be as high as 5.9%. 6% are found in primary care. 10% are seen in outpatient mental health clinics, and 20% among psychiatric inpatients.
Histrionic personality disorder: National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions suggests 1.84%.
Narcissistic personality disorder: Prevalence estimates based on DSM-IV criteria ranged from 0% to 6.2% in community samples.
Avoidant personality disorder: National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions suggests 2.4%.
Dependent personality disorder: National Comorbidity Survey Replication suggests 0.6%. National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions suggests 0.49%.
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality disorder: One of most prevalent personality disorder with an estimated prevalence ranging from 2.1% to 7.9%.

That's all the information it gives. Hope this helps.
