Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone had any insight into the 14 personality disorders? I'm interested in learning more about them, but it's a very complex topic and I'm having a hard time understanding all of the different components. Does anyone have any experience with any of them, or can point me in the right direction to learn more? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

There are 14 personality disorders, which are grouped into three clusters. Cluster A includes paranoid, schizoid, and schizotypal personality disorders. Cluster B includes antisocial, borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personality disorders. Cluster C includes avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. Each disorder has its own specific set of symptoms, such as difficulty with relationships, impulsivity, rigidity, and suspiciousness. Treatment varies for each disorder, but can include therapy, medications, and lifestyle changes.

Personality disorders are a type of mental disorder that affect how an individual interacts with the world around them. They are characterized by extreme, rigid, and maladaptive patterns of thinking and behavior which can be disabling and interfere with day-to-day functioning.

The 14 personality disorders listed in the DSM-5 are:
