Cluster C Disorders

Cluster C Disorders are a group of personality disorders characterized by anxious, fearful, or avoidant behaviors. People with these disorders often experience difficulty in social situations and may feel insecure or excessively nervous. The main types include Avoidant Personality Disorder (fear of rejection leading to social avoidance), Dependent Personality Disorder (excessive need for reassurance and submissiveness), and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (preoccupation with orderliness and control). These patterns can cause significant distress and impact daily functioning, but they are treatable through therapy and support.
