What are Personality Disorders?
Personality disorders are mental health disorders that manifest as patterns of thoughts and actions that differ drastically from what’s expected culturally. These patterns of thoughts and actions tend to remain consistent in all situations and can lead to serious impairment.
Your personality blends your attitude, your thoughts, your emotions, and your behaviors. Your personality also influences how you express these traits to other people.

Understanding the Differences
Types of Personality Disorders
The ten types of personality disorders are divided into three groups:
Group A
Eccentric or unusual thoughts and actions characterize the first group of personality disorders.
Paranoid Personality Disorder
A paranoid personality disorder is characterized by an unending suspicion of what other people do. It's not uncommon for people with a paranoid personality disorder to believe that everyone around them is trying to threaten them, demean them, or harm them with things they say or do.
Schizoid Personality Disorder
Schizoid personality disorder manifests in the form of general disinterest in any type of relationship and a complete detachment from social interactions. People who have this disorder typically have a very limited range of emotions, especially in social settings.
Schizotypal Personality Disorder
Displays of intense discomfort with intimacy or a disregard for close relationships characterize a schizotypal personality disorder. People struggling with a schizotypal personality disorder might find it difficult to cultivate relationships because of their unusual behaviors or distorted views of reality.
Group B
Erratic behaviors with impulsivity and emotional instability characterize the second group of personality disorders. It’s not uncommon for people with these personality disorders to also struggle with an impulse control disorder or substance abuse disorder. However, personality disorder treatment in Tennessee can be customized for substance abuse and other mental health issues.
Antisocial Personality Disorder
A lack of respect for other people or social rules characterizes an antisocial personality disorder. People with antisocial personality disorders can cause emotional or physical harm to others or break the law without taking responsibility for their behaviors or consequences.
Borderline Personality Disorder
A borderline personality disorder is often characterized by an inability to control emotions, low self-esteem, impulsivity, and relationship issues.
Histrionic Personality Disorder
Histrionic personality disorder has a severely distorted self-image that depends on approval from other people. With no internal sense of self-worth, people with a histrionic personality disorder often have unstable, intense emotions and use dramatic or inappropriate behavior to get attention from others.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder
A narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by low self-esteem, for which individuals compensate with demands for praise and admiration from other people. The same individuals often lack empathy for others and feel that they are superior to other people.
Group C
The third group of personality disorders is characterized by intense fear and anxiety. It’s not uncommon for these personality disorders to manifest alongside things like anxiety disorders.
Avoidant Personality Disorder
An avoidant personality disorder is characterized by people who avoid social interaction because of an intense fear of rejection. These individuals want to interact but face ongoing feelings of inadequacy, like they are not good enough to socialize with others. People with an avoidant personality disorder worry about being negatively judged.
- Dialectical behavioral therapy is one of the primary modalities used for borderline personality disorder. It helps you learn how to control your emotions, be more aware of how you feel, reduce self-destructive tendencies, and improve communication.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy can help you identify harmful automatic thought patterns, change your self-image, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and control anxiety.
- Family therapy can be an effective part of your treatment plan, involving your loved ones so that they gain information about how your disorder works, how they can support you, and what strategies they can use to take better care of you.
Dependent Personality Disorder
Dependent personality disorder applies to individuals who become very close to other people and invest themselves entirely into pleasing that person. They are submissive, constantly seeking reassurance from the other person, and unable to make decisions independently. Individuals with a dependent personality disorder often display passive behavior and have severe separation anxiety.
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder*
An obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is characterized by extreme demands for perfection, order, and control. The extreme demands can make it impossible to complete tasks, hold down a job, or maintain relationships. Individuals with this mental health issue have no room for flexibility.
*Note that an OCDP is different from OCD. Those with OCD are aware of their behavior and thoughts and any issues they might cause. Those same people are more accepting that they need to make changes and receive help.
