What Is It?

Personality disorders are long-term patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that differ from cultural expectations. These patterns can affect how someone relates to others, handles emotions, and sees themselves and the world around them.

Common Experiences

People may struggle with relationships, self-image, or intense emotions. They might find it hard to trust others, manage anger, or feel stable. These experiences can lead to isolation, conflict, or feeling misunderstood, even when trying their best.
