Visit the BPhoenix Personality Disorders Message Board According to the DSM-IV, personality disorders are "enduring patterns of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and oneself" that "are exhibited in a wide range of important social and personal contexts," and "are inflexible and maladaptive, and cause either significant impairment or subjective distress." Personality disorders are found in 10%-13% of the general population. They are thought to originate in childhood and continue into the adult years and to be so ingrained that it is difficult to pinpoint an onset. Maladaptive personality characteristics develop over time into the maladaptive behavior patterns that create distress for the affected person and draw the attention of others. At this time the DSM-IV divides the personality disorders into three groups of "clusters." This method will probably continue until there is a strong scientific basis for viewing them differently. Cluster A is called the "odd" or "eccentric" cluster, cluster B is the "dramatic," "emotional," or "erratic" cluster, and C is the "anxious" or "fearful" cluster.

Personality Disorders Dr. C. George Boeree A Personality Disorder consists of inflexible and maladaptive personality traits which interfere with day-to-day functioning and may involve subjective unhappiness. There are several general criteria: Behavior that differs from cultural expectations in two of the following areas: cognition, emotion, social functioning, and impulse control Problems that are spread across a broad range of situations; Significant problems in social or work life; Problems that are relatively stable and date back at least to adolescence or early adulthood. Psychologists and psychiatrists have divided them into three broad categories, based more on overall similarities than on our understanding of their causes: Cluster A People who appear "odd or eccentric." Paranoid PD Schizoid PD Schizotypal PD Cluster B People who appear "dramatic, emotional, erratic." Antisocial PD Borderline PD Histrionic PD Narcissistic PD Cluster C People who appear "anxious or fearful."

Mood Disorders Personality Disorders Schizophrenia Delusional Disorder Sexual Disorders Disorders Personality disorders are long standing patterns of maladaptive behavior. The personality disorders are when a person uses improper and immature ways to deal with problems or situations. People with this type of disorder do not feel like they are doing anything wrong and therefore do not want to change thier behavior, like people with anxiety disorders . There are 11 major personality disorders defined by the DSM-III. These include: Antisocial Personality Disorder, Avoidant Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Dependent Personality Disorder, Histrionic Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, Paranoid Personality Disorder, Schizoid Personality Disorder, and Schizotypal Personality Disorder. Antisocial Personality Disorder This disorder is characterized by the careless disregard for the rights of others. It can be recognized by several symptoms. Someone with an antisocial personality is usually deceitful and is remorseless. Other symptoms include the reckless disregard for saftey, both for him/herself and others; excessive irritability and aggressiveness coupled with impulsiveness. Most antisocial personalities also fail to conform to social norms. Avoidant Personality Disorder Individuals with this disorder feel inadequate, have great sensitivity to what others think and say about them, and are socially impotent. This disorder is characterized by someone who is terribly reluctant to take personal risks or try new things because they may be embarrassed. Avoidant personalities don't like to get involved in intimate relationships, constantly think about being criticized or rejected, and see themselves as socially inept and inferior.

Further reading This booklet is for anyone who wants to know about personality disorder, including those diagnosed, their family, friends and professional health workers. It is one of the most controversial of all psychiatric diagnoses, but it does not include multiple personality disorder, which is a dissociative disorder, covered in a separate booklet. What is personality disorder? The word ‘personality’ refers to the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviour that makes each of us individual. We tend to behave in fairly predictable ways, yet our personalities also develop and change as our circumstances change. Usually, people are flexible enough to be able to learn from past experiences and to change their behaviour to cope with life more effectively, but someone who has a personality disorder is likely to be quite inflexible. Their range of attitudes and behaviours is limited, and likely to be very different from what others might expect from their background and culture. Their attitudes and ways of behaving often cause distress to them and to others. Personality disorders usually become noticeable in adolescence or early adulthood, but sometimes start in childhood. They make it difficult for someone to develop friendships, maintain a stable relationship and to work cooperatively with others, because their experience, responses and coping strategies are so limited. Not surprisingly, they can feel very alienated and alone and, unfortunately, the risk of suicide is about three times higher than average. (See Mind’s bookletÂ

Healthinmind Mental Health Disorders Personality Disorders Schizoid Personality Disorder People with Schizoid Personality Disorder (SDD) share their flavor of eccentricity with those diagnosed with Paranoid Personality Disorder and Schizotypal Personality Disorder . Those with SDD, however, display detachment more than paranoia, and they lack the cognitive and perceptual distortions often seen in those with Schizotypal Personality Disorder. The range of emotion is quite limited and generally flat in people with SDD. They behave like hermits, preferring solitary activities to social contacts, and they get little pleasure from anything, including sex. As one would expect, given these attitudes, they have few confidants or close friends. The name of the disorder derives from the overlap of schizoid behaviors with those of people with schizophrenia. However, only rarely do people with SDD become schizophrenic; the disorder, though disturbing, is usually stable. As in the other personality disorders, it is difficult to change.
