Features of personality disorders
Most often the first sign of a personality disorder appears in late
childhood or adolescence and continues during adulthood.
Someone with a personality disorder holds attitudes and behaves in
ways that can cause considerable problems for themselves and
others.
Behaviour is long-standing (not limited to an episode of mental
illness).
Behaviour is pervasive and maladaptive.
Disorder results in personal distress and social or occupational
dysfunction.
Behavior is fixed and inflexible.
Personality disorders are ego-syntonic.
They are not due to a direct result of disease or substance.
