Personality Disorders: Understanding the Challengesr
Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by inflexible and maladaptive personality traits that cause significant distress or impairment in functioning. These traits are evident in a variety of areas, including how you think about yourself and others, relate to others, and react to stressful situations. These entrenched patterns can significantly disrupt your life, causing difficulties in your work, relationships, and overall well-being. Some common personality disorders include:
- Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
- Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD)
- Avoidant personality disorder (AvPD)
- Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD)
- Dependent personality disorder (DPD)
