What exactly is Personality Disorders (PD)?
A personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by enduring patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience that deviate from cultural expectations and lead to significant distress or impairment in various areas of one's life.
A personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by long-standing and rigid patterns of behavior, thoughts, and emotions that deviate significantly from societal norms and expectations. These patterns are typically enduring and stable over time and often lead to difficulties in personal and social functioning. There are several types of personality disorders, including borderline, narcissistic, antisocial, and avoidant personality disorders, each with its distinct features and challenges. The exact cause of personality disorders is complex and may involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Effective treatment often involves psychotherapy, but the approach can vary depending on the specific type of personality disorder and individual needs.
