Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by unhealthy and inflexible patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that differ from societal expectations. These patterns are long-lasting, begin in adolescence or early adulthood, and can cause significant distress or difficulty in daily life.
