Understanding the Program
What Is Personality Disorders?
Mental health personality disorders are long-term patterns of behavior that lead to serious difficulties in close relationships, social settings, and everyday activities. Personality disorders are typically diagnosed when the behaviors and attitudes of an individual are inflexible, lead to significant distress, and deviate significantly from cultural expectations.
Personality disorders are grouped into three clusters: A, B, and C. These categories help differentiate personality traits that result in similar symptoms and behaviors.
Cluster A includes personality disorders characterized by odd or eccentric behavior. They include:
Paranoid Personality Disorder : Individuals with paranoid personality disorder display extreme suspicion and mistrust of others, leading to an inability to maintain social relationships.
You don't have to face personality disorders alone — compassionate, evidence-based care can help you regain stability and hope.
