What Are Personality Disorders?
Personality disorders are mental health conditions that influence how individuals perceive the world, manage emotions, and interact with others. These patterns are often deeply ingrained, affecting personal and professional relationships.
Examples of personality disorders include borderline personality disorder (BPD), narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). Each condition is unique, with its own set of symptoms and challenges.
