What are Personality Disorders?

Personality disorders are marked by continual behaviors, traits, and actions (three primary components of any personality) that significantly deviate from cultural and societal norms. Occasional deviation is typically not an indication of personality disorder, but sustained deviation may indicate it. A personality that actually clashes with cultural norms is somewhat subjective, which illustrates the need for a diagnosis from a mental health professional. 

It’s common for someone with one personality disorder to share a few symptoms and characteristics with someone who has a different personality disorder. It’s also possible for some people to be living with more than one personality disorder. Many root causes—such as childhood trauma—are associated with multiple types.

The 10 personality disorders recognized under the DSM-5-TR are:

  • Antisocial personality disorder
  • Avoidant personality disorder
  • Borderline personality disorder
  • Dependent personality disorder
  • Histrionic personality disorder
  • Narcissistic personality disorder
  • Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCD)
  • Paranoid personality disorder
  • Schizoid personality disorder
  • Schizotypal personality disorder

Our Approach

Common Symptoms of Personality Disorders

Having a personality that’s a little different from the norm is not necessarily a bad thing. With personality disorders, though, one’s personality does not allow them to adapt to society, which can cause a variety of problems. Furthermore, those with a personality disorder may often turn to substances like alcohol or drugs to manage the challenges associated with the condition.

Many people with personality disorders go undiagnosed, as it can be challenging to become aware of the indicated symptoms. A guest’s first visit to a mental health professional might be spurred by the encouragement of a friend or loved one. Treatment can help prevent personality disorders from leading to severely adverse consequences.

The exact symptoms you experience depend on which type of personality disorder you have. The 10 types of personality disorders are classified into three groups, with each one having a large number of possible symptoms.  Nevertheless, a few symptoms are indicated in more than one type of personality disorder. Such symptoms include:

  • Impulsivity
  • Emotional dysregulation
  • Fear of criticism
  • Difficult maintaining relationships

What Sets Us Apart

Connections Between Personality Disorders and Substance Use Disorder

People who have been diagnosed with a mental health condition are more likely to also develop a substance use disorder. More than one-fourth of all Americans diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder are living with substance use disorder. More than one-third of Americans living with a substance use disorder also meet the criteria for having a psychiatric disorder. Dual diagnosis is the term for co-occurring mental health conditions and substance use disorders.

In these cases, comprehensive and thoughtful dual diagnosis treatment is essential for guests to achieve long-lasting recovery. The symptoms of some mental health conditions can exacerbate or even lead to substance use disorders. Withdrawal symptoms associated with some substance use disorders also mimic the symptoms of certain mental health conditions. When two or more conditions are intricately linked, treatment should address all symptoms a guest is experiencing. 

What Sets Us Apart

Holistic Treatments for Personality Disorders

Guests with personality disorders often need a multi-pronged therapeutic approach. Evidence-based talk therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and its close relative, dialectical behavior therapy, are essential for the treatment of common mental health conditions. Tikvah Lake prioritizes useful psychotherapies, as guests spend 10 hours each week receiving one-on-one counseling. 

Talk therapy, however, is not the only intervention that can help guests combat personality disorder. We’re proud to offer a range of holistic rehab interventions to treat the entire person—mind, body, and spirit. Holistic therapies are designed to complement psychotherapies in the treatment of mental health conditions like personality disorders.

Yoga

Performing challenging poses can benefit both the body and mind. One big reason is that yoga is more than stretching your physical limits; the practice encourages focused breathing and mindfulness, which is a judgment-free awareness of the present moment. Yoga has been shown to help symptoms of stress and fear, which are associated with many types of personality disorders. Because physical health affects mental and emotional health, yoga remains one of the top mindfulness exercises.

Meditation

Like yoga, meditation has been shown to help reduce cortisol levels. High cortisol levels indicate stress, so lowering these markers can have positive effects on anxiety disorders and many personality disorders. Mindfulness meditation, which involves observing your thoughts and feelings without judgment, is often helpful in managing cravings. Understanding thought patterns and how they may affect symptoms of substance use disorder can be vital in achieving long-term sobriety.

Nutritional Counseling

A cornerstone of physical health is eating the right foods. Without a healthy diet, you may not have the energy to tackle your personality disorder or substance use disorder. Nutritious foods help supply your brain with dopamine, serotonin, and other feel-good chemicals. The impact of a healthy diet cannot be overstated, as physical health is linked closely with mental health.

Benefits of Our Executive Treatment Program

Many guests stay between 30 and 90 days at Tikvah Lake, but that timeline doesn’t work for everyone. You may have a high-pressure job, familiar obligations, or other responsibilities that prevent you from withdrawing from public life for an extended period of time.

Executive drug rehab at Tikvah Lake is all about making sure you receive the most effective parts of our residential drug rehab program in only 10 days. You’ll still receive the treatment you need in our luxurious overnight facility. You always have the choice of staying longer if need be.
