Each of us has a personality, which is a set of unique traits that affect how we act, think, feel, and connect with others. Our personality traits, which are the things that make us who we are, cause us to act in pretty regular ways as we go through life. Still, our identities can change. We learn from what we do and see. As we deal with the world around us, we try out different ways of responding to see which ones feel better and work better. People with personality disorders usually don’t have this kind of freedom.
What Are Personality Disorders?
A personality disorder is a pattern of thoughts and actions that lasts for a long time and is very different from what people in the person’s culture expect. People with personality disorders have a consistent, fixed pattern of how they feel inside and how they act outside. This pattern affects their sense of self, their emotional experiences, their goals, their ability to understand others, and/or their ability to be close to others. In other words, they have personality traits that are much more extreme and dysfunctional than most people in their society. These traits cause them or others a lot of problems and emotional pain.
Personality disorders start when a person is a teenager or a young adult, stay the same over time, and cause pain or other problems. These conditions are some of the hardest to treat when it comes to the mind. Many people with these disorders don’t even know they have personality problems and don’t connect their problems to the way they think and act in a way that doesn’t work for them.
