Personality disorders can lead to significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. This group of mental health conditions is characterized by enduring patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience that deviate significantly from the expectations of a person’s culture.
These mental health conditions are characterized by patterns of self-perception and interactions with others that lead to repeated difficulties throughout one’s life.
Personality disorders are typically recognized in adolescence or early adulthood, although some signs may emerge during childhood.
