Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by enduring patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that deviate significantly from cultural expectations.
Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by enduring patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that deviate significantly from cultural expectations. These patterns are rigid, inflexible, and persistent, often causing distress or impairment in social, occupational, or daily functioning. Unlike temporary mood changes, personality disorders are long-term conditions that typically begin in adolescence or early adulthood.

Personality disorders are long-term, pervasive patterns, not short-term mood swings.
They are grouped into three clusters based on symptom similarities.
