Personality Disorders
Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by inflexible and maladaptive patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that deviate significantly from cultural and societal norms. These patterns are typically established in adolescence or early adulthood and can cause significant distress and impairment in social, occupational, and other areas of functioning.
There are several types of personality disorders, including borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, among others. Each type of personality disorder is associated with specific traits and behaviors that can affect an individual's relationships, self-esteem, and sense of identity.
