Specific Personality Disorders

The DSM-5 is the most recent edition of the DSM. It contains descriptions of each of the major personality disorders and aids in diagnosis disorders. The DSM-5 organizes personality disorders in terms of the maladaptive five traits that go along side the Big 5 personality traits. 

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5)

The enduring and maladaptive personality styles associated with personality disorders are deeply troubling and problematic for both the individuals and those around them. These styles often lead to interpersonal conflicts, hinder the formation and maintenance of social relationships, and obstruct the achievement of personal life goals.

Consequences of Maladaptive Personality Styles in Personality Disorders

A personality disorder is a long-term deviation in behavior, thoughts, and feelings from the cultural norm and expectancies. Without treatment, a personality disorder causes distress to the individual and creates problems in functioning.

[DSM-5] Conduct Disorder Criteria

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is primarily defined by a pervasive pattern of instability across interpersonal relationships, self-image, and mood, combined with significant impulsivity. Individuals with this disorder often experience intense emotions and may engage in frantic behaviors to manage their profound fear of abandonment.

Borderline Personality Disorder

A personality disorder is defined by a pervasive and inflexible personality style that significantly deviates from cultural norms, causing problems for the individual and for others. This pattern typically emerges during adolescence or early adulthood and leads to significant distress or functional impairment.

Personality Disorders

Addictive disorders characterized by a compulsive pattern of drug use and marked by both physical and psychological dependence on the substance. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) is used by clinicians to diagnose drug use disorders. Individuals with these disorders often consume more of the substance than intended and persist in its use despite significant adverse consequences.

Substance Use Disorders

Psychotic disorders are severe mental illnesses characterized by thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors that are so impaired the individual cannot function normally and becomes disconnected from reality. This state of being disconnected from the world is known as psychosis. People with these disorders often lose contact with reality and may experience extreme symptoms like hallucinations and delusions. Schizophrenia is a primary example of a psychotic disorder.

Psychotic Disorders

Personality disorders

Abnormalities in the development of the nervous system that are influenced by both our genes and the environment. Developmental disorders commonly manifest as behavioral abnormalities.

Developmental Disorders

Disruptive, Impulse-Control, and Conduct Disorders are a group of conditions characterized by problems related to the self-control of emotions and behaviors. These disorders are distinct from other disorders with emotional or behavioral regulation due to the nature that these problems result in violations of the rights of others and/or significant conflict with societal norms or authority figures. These disorders and their presentation can greatly vary within the category, as well as between individuals.
