Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by enduring patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience that deviate from cultural norms and cause distress or impaired functioning. These disorders impact a person’s way of thinking, feeling, and interacting with others.
Counseling and therapy are essential in managing personality disorders. Therapists work with individuals to understand their maladaptive behaviours, improve self-awareness, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Through therapy, individuals can enhance their relationships, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
