Personality disorders, cluster, social communication, lifestyle, Cluster AAbstract
Personality disorders (PDs) represent a significant global public health concern, with an estimated 10% of the population affected. In the UK, prevalence studies indicate PD diagnoses in 38% of females and 30% of males (2009-2010). According to the Indian Psychiatric Society, 75% of the population exhibits severe personality deviations, a defining feature of PDs. Characterized by maladaptive personality traits that severely impair daily functioning, PDs are associated with poor life quality, mental health comorbidities, and an elevated risk of premature death. PDs typically manifest in childhood or early adulthood and are influenced by genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Clinical manifestations include social communication difficulties, emotional instability, depression, anxiety, and phobias. The DSM-5 categorizes PDs into three clusters: Cluster A (suspicious), Cluster B (emotional and impulsive), and Cluster C (anxious). This review aims to provide an overview of PDs and offer guidance on their identification, diagnosis, and treatment by healthcare professionals.
