Personality Disorders
Personality disorders are mental health conditions that affect how a person thinks, feels, behaves, and relates to others. These patterns are long-lasting and can cause serious problems in relationships, work, and daily life.
Everyone has a unique personality. But in people with personality disorders, certain traits become extreme and unhealthy. These traits can make it hard to understand situations or relate to people in a normal way. The person may not even realize their behavior is causing trouble.
