personality disorder
A personality disorder is a mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and interacts with others. Individuals with these disorders often have rigid and unhealthy patterns of behavior and thinking that can lead to problems in relationships, work, and daily life. These patterns typically start in adolescence or early adulthood and can be challenging to change. Common types include borderline, narcissistic, and antisocial personality disorders. Treatment often involves therapy to help individuals understand their behaviors and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
