What Are Personality Disorders?
Unlike short-term mental health issues, personality disorders reflect enduring ways of relating to oneself and others. They can influence how a person views the world, manages emotions, interacts with people, and controls impulses. It’s important to recognize that these conditions are not character flaws or personal choices but complex mental health issues that require understanding and professional support.
Types of Personality Disorders
Includes Paranoid, Schizoid, and Schizotypal Personality Disorders. Individuals in this cluster often appear socially detached, suspicious, or emotionally distant. They may have unusual beliefs, exhibit limited emotional expression, and struggle with connecting to others. Their thinking patterns can seem eccentric or distorted, contributing to isolation or discomfort in social settings.
Includes Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic, and Narcissistic Personality Disorders. This cluster is marked by intense emotions, unstable relationships, and difficulty managing impulses. Behaviors may include manipulation, attention-seeking, extreme mood swings, or disregard for rules and others’ boundaries. People may struggle with self-image and often react intensely to perceived rejection or criticism.
Includes Avoidant, Dependent, and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorders. Individuals in this group are often highly anxious, sensitive to criticism, or afraid of being alone. They may rely heavily on others for reassurance, avoid social interaction due to fear of rejection, or become overly focused on order, control, and perfection.
While these categories provide a framework, individuals often exhibit traits from different disorders, and a thorough diagnosis requires expert evaluation.

How To Help a Loved One with a Personality Disorder
- Educate Yourself: Learn about the specific personality disorder to understand the behaviors and challenges involved. This fosters empathy and reduces frustration.
- Encourage Professional Help: Gently suggest seeking diagnosis and treatment from qualified mental health professionals. Offer support in finding resources like Sabino Recovery.
- Set Healthy Boundaries: It’s crucial to establish and maintain clear boundaries to protect your own well-being. This is not selfish; it’s necessary for a sustainable relationship.
- Focus on Communication: Use “I” statements to express your feelings and needs without blaming. Try to remain calm during difficult conversations.
- Validate Their Feelings (Not Necessarily Behaviors): Acknowledge their emotional pain even if you don’t agree with their actions or interpretations. Saying “I can see you’re feeling really hurt” can be more helpful than arguing about the facts.
- Avoid Stigma: Treat your loved one with respect and dignity. Remember that the disorder is the problem, not the person.
- Seek Support for Yourself: Caring for someone with a personality disorder can be draining. Consider joining a support group or seeking therapy for yourself.

Pamela
The program at Sabino Recovery works! I emerged from an accumulation of unrecognized emotions, issues of trust, and unresolved grief and loss. 35-days of effective integration of customized quality therapy reconnected my mind, body, spirit, and I am worth it! I had masked emotions and hurtful events for decades with alcohol. At Sabino Recovery I safely focused deep within to unleash harmful secrets and self-degradation. Tools of recovery were practiced, not just presented. Integrative therapies were tailored to my circumstances, thus were effective. This residential program is like no other. For me, Sabino Recovery delivered what was professed. I am forever grateful for this gift of healing.
