Personality Disorder

There is not a universally accepted definition of ‘Personality Disorder’ but the World Health Organisation has defined it as ‘A severe disturbance in the character logical condition and behavioural tendencies of the individual, usually involving several areas of the personality, and nearly always associated with considerable personal and social disruption’

Personality Disorder can have a varying degree of negative impact on the individuals’ life as well as their family and friends. Many people with a personality disorder also experience other Mental Health difficulties.
