Does my aunt have a mental problem?

[Vergil]

OK she is the eldest sibling on my mom's side. She is always getting into arguments and overreacts. Since I was a baby until now (I'm a teen), she has been like this. She also always causes problems for everyone such as yelling at others during a wedding or party. She always wants to be looked up to even if she isn't high class. She controls all of my relatives on my mom's side and they all obey her. She is always jealous of my mom tries to make her suffer. She gets mad at every little thing such as when I did not say hi to her she told my mom that we are "low class". Today she is always trying to get what she wants. Whats wrong with her?Thanks.I'm the first born in my fam yet I'm not like this.

Sounds like maybe OCD. She may be obsessed with everything being perfect because she isn't.

Not good. As an armchair Dr. I'd say it's "borderline personality disorder", closely related to "obsessive-compulsive disorder". My ex wife displayed all of the characteristics you described, that's why she's my ex. She finally got on some mood stabalizers and is doing better now. It's really tough to get a person w/ either of these conditions to accept they have a problem though. Good luck, and just try to blow off her behaviour. It's not normal.

listen, i know there are alot of people that answer questions and its always a mental disorder, which i to am very familiar with all of them to. But, look at how she grew up, how shes been treated, try the basics first, ill but she has very low self esteem and as long as everyone follows her directions it takes the focus off of her and her achievements, mistakes etc. By always being preoccupied with others situations it doesnt leave her time to stop and think about her own life and all her energy goes to everyone else instead of onherself it is much easier to take care of others than invest inyourself when your the one with the problemhope this helps , start with the basics then move ongood luck

my grandmother acts like that and she is bipolar and has something else wrong. but she also grew up in a kinda hard environment. It could very well be a mental problem.

sounds like she does this because she has low slef asteem and this makes her feel better, by treathing others like poo.

Sounds like she is "Crazy Aunt" who no one can do anything about but tolerate it. Every family has at least one person like this. eventually no one gets rattled by this person anymore. It does sound like she has problems. Sorry about the situation.
