When Patterns of Thought, Emotion, and Behavior Weigh Heavily on Life
Every person has unique personality traits that shape their experiences and actions. A personality disorder is diagnosed when certain patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior persist over a long period of time, are inflexible, and significantly impair a person’s personal, professional, or social life.
Those affected often experience recurring conflicts in relationships, difficulties managing emotions, or challenges in coping with everyday stressors. Many suffer from intense internal pressure without initially being able to clearly identify the causes. Personality disorders usually develop during adolescence or early adulthood and often persist for many years.
