Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by persistent and inflexible patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior that deviate significantly from cultural expectations. These patterns often cause distress or impair functioning in various areas of life. At Glodach Psychiatry & Integrative Health, we offer tailored treatments to address the complex nature of personality disorders and support individuals in improving their quality of life.

Types of Personality Disorders:

• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): Features intense emotions, unstable relationships, and a distorted self-image. Individuals may experience mood swings, fear of abandonment, and impulsive behaviors.

• Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): Involves a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy. Individuals may exhibit a sense of entitlement, exploitative behavior, and a focus on self-image.
