What are personality disorders? 

Personality disorders are mental health conditions that influence how you: 

• Think 
• Feel 
• Relate to others
• Respond to everyday situations

Each category includes distinct traits and symptoms, but all personality disorders can significantly impact your emotional health and daily functioning if you don’t have the support you need.

What are the most common personality disorders? 

Several personality disorders are more frequently diagnosed than others, including:

• Borderline personality disorder (BPD) 
• Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD)
• Avoidant personality disorder 
• Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD)
• Antisocial personality disorder

While symptoms vary, many people with personality disorders experience emotional distress, conflict in relationships, and challenges managing stress. At Sis Therapy/Already Done LLC, Paula offers workable solutions.

What symptoms indicate I should seek treatment for a personality disorder? 

It may be a good idea to reach out to Paula if you experience:

• Persistent emotional instability
• Difficulty maintaining relationships
• Chronic feelings of emptiness
• Intense anger
• Impulsive behavior
• Ongoing social isolation
• Frequent conflicts with loved ones
• Extreme fear of rejection
• Difficulty trusting others
• Patterns of behavior that negatively affect work or daily life

In some cases, personality disorders may also occur alongside anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, or substance use disorders.

Early intervention is important because untreated personality disorders can become more severe. Paula can help you develop healthier coping skills, improve communication, and better understand your emotional triggers.
