PERSONALITY DISORDERS
Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions that involve long-standing patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that are significantly different from what is expected in a person’s culture. These patterns can affect how a person interacts with others, manages emotions, and handles stress, often leading to difficulties in relationships and daily life.
Key Symptoms:
-
Rigid behaviors and thought patterns that cause distress or difficulty in relationships.
-
Difficulty in understanding or relating to others, leading to problematic interactions.
-
Emotional instability or intense, unpredictable moods.
-
Impulsive actions or difficulty controlling behavior in certain situations.
Types of Personality Disorders:
Personality disorders are grouped into three clusters:
-
Cluster A (Odd or Eccentric): Includes Paranoid, Schizoid, and Schizotypal Personality Disorders.
-
Cluster B (Dramatic or Erratic): Includes Borderline, Narcissistic, Antisocial, and Histrionic Personality Disorders.
-
Cluster C (Anxious or Fearful): Includes Avoidant, Dependent, and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorders.
Causes and Triggers:
Personality disorders may develop due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and social factors. Childhood trauma, neglect, or inconsistent upbringing can contribute to the development of certain personality disorders.
