Personality Disorders are generalized, inflexible patterns of inner experience and behavior. These patterns significantly differ from cultural expectations, and begin in adolescence or early adulthood. Personality Disorders are long-term, maladaptive patterns of perception, emotional regulation, anxiety, and impulse control. They can lead to enormous personal and societal costs, including lost productivity, hospitalizations, significant unhappiness, imprisonment, and suicide.

Personality Disorders are among the least understood and recognized disorders in both psychiatry and general medical care. Ironically, as a group of disorders, they are among the most common of the severe mental disorders, and occur frequently with other illnesses (e.g., substance use disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders). Many imprisoned individuals also have a diagnosable personality disorder.

    There also is a diagnosis known as "Personality Disorders Not Otherwise Specified" (PDDNOS), which is separate from the above groups of personality disorders.

    This diagnosis (PDDNOS) would be given for disturbed personality functioning that does not meet criteria for any specific Personality Disorder, but which leads to distress or harm in one or more important areas of functioning (e.g., social or work-related). The clinician also may give this diagnosis if a specific personality disorder that is not included in the DSM IV Classification seems to apply to an individual (e.g., depressive personality disorder, or passive-aggressive personality disorder; DSM IV, American Psychiatric Association, 1994).
