What is a personality disorder?

Personality disorders are enduring patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that differ significantly from cultural expectations, are inflexible, begin by adolescence or early adulthood, and cause distress or impairment in relationships, work, or daily life. The DSM-5-TR groups them into three clusters.

Cluster A

Odd or Eccentric

"I don't trust people" / "I don't need people."

Paranoid, Schizoid, Schizotypal

Cluster B

Dramatic, Emotional, or Erratic

"My emotions and relationships are chaotic."

Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic, Narcissistic

Cluster C

Anxious or Fearful

"I'm afraid of criticism, abandonment, or losing control."

Avoidant, Dependent, Obsessive-Compulsive
