Personality Disorders

A personality is a unique combination of traits, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that distinguish an individual from others. It encompasses how a person interacts with the world around them, including their characteristic way of thinking, feeling, and behaving. People exhibit a wide range of personality traits, which can be both positive and negative. 

When personality traits become extreme, rigid, and inflexible, and interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively in daily life and interact with others, it may indicate a personality disorder. 

Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by enduring patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that deviate significantly from cultural expectations and cause distress or impairment in personal or social functioning.
