Personality Disorder Treatment

Have you ever said to someone “Hey, did your mom/dad/sibling have a personality disorder?” You’ve probably met someone who doesn’t understand what a personality disorder means. A personality disorder is an abnormal pattern of inner experience or behavior that is persistent and unrepeatable.

A personality disorder can cause problems with emotional regulation and thinking. People with personality disorders can be impulsive, acting on impulses without thinking about the consequences, and they may struggle to define their identity and self-image.

There are many types of personality disorders. However, they all fall under one of the following three categories:

1) Cluster A (odd, eccentric)

These personality disorders include paranoid, schizoid and schizotypal. These disorders can cause people to have strange beliefs and magical thinking, such as believing they can control the world with their minds. They may also believe that they are able to create their own reality. These people may have difficulty building close relationships and may not be able to communicate well with others.

2) Cluster B (dramatical, emotional or erratic).

These personality disorders include borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personalities. These disorders can cause people to feel strongly about themselves and others, but they may also have difficulty controlling their emotions. These people may be angry or jealous, and have mood swings that last hours or days.

3) Cluster C (anxious, fearful).

These personality disorders include avoidant, dependent, and paranoid. These disorders can make it difficult for people with these disorders to get along with others. A person with these disorders may have difficulty trusting others because of low self-worth.

Treatments for Personality Disorders:

Although personality disorders aren’t fully understood, it is possible that they are related to brain chemistry or genetics. These disorders can also be caused by mental illnesses such as depression. The symptoms can be treated using a combination psychotherapy and medication, regardless of their cause.

1) Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is one of the most well-known treatments for personality disorders. It can be difficult to find a good psychotherapist, and even more difficult to find someone willing to treat you free of charge. So it is important to understand what psychotherapy means.

Psychotherapy is simply a conversation between people who are open to discussing their problems, feelings, and issues. Psychotherapy focuses on the present and helps people to manage their problems in a healthy way. Different therapists may use different approaches depending on what they prefer: some might use talk therapy while others might use play therapy. Others might use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or behavioral therapy. CBT is very popular as it focuses on the present. It teaches people how they can think differently about their problems so that they have more control.

Psychotherapy does more than just make you feel better. It also helps you to identify the root causes of your negative behavior so you can turn them around. This process can take from six months to several decades depending on the time it takes for you and your therapist to get comfortable enough to share your most intimate details.

2) Medications

One of the most common treatments for personality disorders is medication. Around 75% of people suffering from personality disorders will be treated with some type of medical treatment. Many of these individuals will also receive medication. What are they?

A medication is a chemical substance that can either be taken in pill form or as a liquid to treat a condition. Doctors prescribe medication and they are used as part of an ongoing treatment plan that helps manage the symptoms associated with a disorder. Although medications are sometimes used alongside other therapies for personality disorders, they don’t always have to be used together in order to be effective.

There are many medications available to treat personality disorders, including

A) Antidepressants

Anxiety, depression and mood disorders such as personality disorders can all be treated with antidepressants. People with severe anxiety or PTSD may also be prescribed antidepressants.

B) Mood stabilizers

Scientists are still trying to figure out all the factors that can cause personality disorders. The brain chemistry of humans is complex. One theory is that mood stabilizers restore brain balance. This can have a significant impact on mood. These chemicals can be targeted by mood stabilizers to help people with personality disorders control their emotions and react to stressful situations.

C) Antipsychotic medication

The treatment of schizophrenia symptoms is done with antipsychotic medication. This is a serious mental disorder that can cause delusions and hallucinations. People with personality disorders such as bipolar disorder or depression may also need these drugs to manage their symptoms. An antipsychotic medication might be prescribed to someone with borderline personality disorder and a co-occurring condition such as depression or bipolar disorder.

D) Anti-anxiety medication

Anxiety disorders are conditions where people experience excessive or irrational worry. Anti-anxiety medication are used to treat them. People with personality disorders or other conditions may also need these drugs to manage their symptoms. An anti-anxiety medication might be prescribed to someone with borderline personality disorder and a co-occurring condition such as depression or bipolar disorder.
