A person with a personality disorder has trouble perceiving and relating to situations and people.
Personality disorder is a type of mental disorder in which you have a marked and unhealthy pattern of thinking, acting, and behaving. The person has two or more identities and has memory gaps for everyday events, important personal information, and traumatic or stressful events, as well as many other symptoms, such as depression and anxiety.
These maladaptive patterns of behavior have their onset in adolescence or early adulthood and are demonstrated in a variety of social and personal settings.
The most common symptoms are:
