Personality Disorders

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A personality disorder is an enduring, inflexible pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from cultural expectation and causes impairment.

Show

A pattern present since early adulthood appears across work, family, and friendship alike.

Watch for

Personality disorders are diagnosed by pervasiveness and stability, not by any single difficult interaction.
