What is a Personality Disorder?

A personality disorder is a long-standing pattern of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that significantly disrupt a person’s ability to function or maintain healthy relationships.

Personality disorders involve deeply ingrained patterns that affect multiple areas of life, including how someone relates to others, handles emotions, controls impulses, and perceives themselves and the world around them.

Unlike temporary mental health struggles, these patterns are stable over time and across different situations.
