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).
