Understanding Personality Disorders
Everyone Has a Personality – But Sometimes, It Needs Healing Too
A personality disorder is a mental health condition where an individual thinks, feels, or behaves in ways that are significantly different from what society expects — and it causes distress in relationships, work, or daily functioning.
It is not about being a “bad person” — it’s a treatable mental health issue that often begins in adolescence or early adulthood.
