Personality Disorders
Personality disorders are long-term patterns of behavior and inner experiences that differ significantly from what is expected. These patterns develop in adolescence or early adulthood and cause distress or problems in functioning. The most commonly treated include borderline personality disorder (BPD), characterized by unstable relationships and emotions, and others affecting how people perceive themselves and relate to others.
