Personality Disorders involve long-term patterns of thoughts and behaviors that are unhealthy and rigid. These behaviors and thoughts can lead to serious problems with relationships, school, work, and personal life. An individual's personality is influenced by experiences, environment, and inherited characteristics. Patterns of personality disorders typically begin by late adolescence or early adulthood, causing distress or problems with every day functioning, affecting things such as: ways of thinking, ways of responding emotionally, ways of relating to other people, or ways of controlling one's behavior.
