Understanding Personality Disorders

Moving past stereotypes and into real, supportive care.

Personality disorders are a great example of mental health concerns that are often talked about but not necessarily understood. As an example, television shows and movies may portray characters with antisocial personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, or borderline personality disorder. However, their focus is on making entertainment, not necessarily providing education.

Without a proper understanding of what personality disorders are and how they can impact your day-to-day life, you may not realize that the struggles you have been living with are the result of a mental health disorder. Thankfully, research has helped mental health professionals develop effective treatment approaches that can help you live your best life.

SOBA New Jersey offers supportive treatment for personality disorders, with care that helps you understand your symptoms and build healthier ways to cope. If you want to talk through what treatment could look like for you or someone you love, give us a call. Our team is here to answer questions and help you take the next step.

What Are Personality Disorders?

Personality disorders are a grouping of mental health concerns that represent a noticeable difference in internal experiences and behaviors that differ from typical expectations of our society.

It is important to note that cultural differences are taken into consideration before diagnosing personality disorders.

The differences that individuals living with personality disorders experience can cause distress and impairment in their day-to-day life and is often observed in different areas of their life.

Research from the National Comorbidity Study Replication (NCS-R) showed that 9.1% of adults in the U.S. were living with a personality disorder.

The Different Types of Personality Disorders

There are three clusters of personality disorders recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5-TR (DSM-5-TR), each of which has its own list of personality disorders.

• Cluster A includes personality disorders that are associated with odd, or unusual thoughts and behaviors. This cluster includes paranoid personality disorder, schizoid personality disorder, and schizotypal personality disorder.
• Cluster B includes personality disorders that are associated with dramatic and emotional thoughts and behaviors that change often. This cluster includes antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, and narcissistic personality disorder.
• Cluster C includes personality disorders that are associated with anxious or fearful thoughts and behaviors. This cluster includes avoidant personality disorder, dependent personality disorder, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.

How Personality Disorders Impact Your Wellbeing

Though the symptoms associated with personality disorders vary, they can have a significant impact on an individual’s day-to-day life. With thoughts and behaviors that fall outside the range of normal expectations, you may find that you have a hard time coping with or managing your emotions. Without knowledge of proper coping skills, individuals with personality disorders may find themselves using drugs and alcohol to cope with their mental health symptoms. While this may provide them with a moment of reprieve, in the long run, it can worsen their mental health concerns.

Additionally, there are some personality disorders that are noticeable by others, yet the individual themselves does not see any problem with their thoughts or behaviors. An example of this would be individuals living with antisocial personality disorders. If someone does not feel as though they have a problem, they are less likely to get help for their mental health needs.

Personality disorders can impact every area of a person’s life, depending on the severity of their symptoms. This can include their career, relationships, and overall health and wellness.

SOBA has become an NJ personality disorder rehab with a name that you can trust after years of providing quality care for those struggling with their mental health. We recognize the impact that your mental health can have on your overall quality of life and want to support you as you live your best life. Call now to speak with a SOBA representative about our New Jersey dual diagnosis treatment options.

Getting Help with Your Personality Disorder

Treatment options for individuals who are living with a personality disorder will be dependent on which disorder they are living with. The severity of their symptoms will be taken into consideration, as well as the presence of any other mental health concerns that they may be living with.

Psychotherapy can be an effective treatment for individuals who are living with personality disorders. Depending on your needs, certain medications could be helpful to manage symptoms such as anxiety and mood swings. Psychotherapy can focus on teaching distress tolerance skills, emotion regulation skills, effective communication patterns, and knowledge about the mental health concerns you are living with.

For those who develop a substance use disorder, addiction treatment programs are often the recommended approach. When you are living with two mental health concerns, their symptoms can be intertwined and impact each other. Receiving treatment for both concerns at the same time can help you cope with both in a healthy manner.

If you have been looking for a New Jersey personality disorder treatment provider, we invite you to speak with a SOBA representative. With a continuum of care, we can support you and your mental health needs, regardless of their severity. Call today to learn more about what treatment options would work for you!
