Personality Disorder
What is a Personality Disorder?
Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions that involve enduring patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that deviate significantly from cultural norms. These patterns often cause distress or impairment in personal, social, or occupational functioning. Personality disorders typically begin in adolescence or early adulthood and can range in severity.
Symptoms vary depending on the type of personality disorder but generally include:
Difficulty in Relationships: Struggles to maintain stable and healthy connections with others.
Emotional Dysregulation: Intense mood swings or inappropriate emotional responses.
Distorted Thinking Patterns: Persistent and inflexible thought processes that influence self-image or perception of others.
Impulsive Behaviors: Risk-taking or self-destructive actions without considering consequences.
Identity Issues: A fragile sense of self or an unstable self-image.
