What is a personality disorder? Glad you asked! In essence, it is a mental disorder where instead of the problem being your brain setup, mood, disconnection from reality, or pointless habits, you simply behave in a way that makes adjusting to life difficult. Lots of people do this, so it's important to recognize that everybody has these traits to one degree or another. They're called personality styles when they don't cause problems.

  • What is a personality disorder? Glad you asked! In essence, it is a mental disorder where instead of the problem being your brain setup, mood, disconnection from reality, or pointless habits, you simply behave in a way that makes adjusting to life difficult. Lots of people do this, so it's important to recognize that everybody has these traits to one degree or another. They're called personality styles when they don't cause problems. Note that personality is sometimes considered the psychological immune system. Indeed those with personality traits like behaviors that are often antagonistic towards others, tendency to take things too personally, are more likely to show mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and substance abuse. Such disorders are often the reason why someone with a personality disorder would seek treatment in the first place. Any behavior can be justified depending on what situation you're put in. It's believed these people act the way they do because as a child they were overexposed to situations where the behavior had survival value, reinforcing it. So they never learned to shift gears when the situation calls for it. Genetics usually only ensures that the childhood environment doesn't have a blank canvas to work on but sometimes people literally were born that way. If you really want a better grasp of these disorders then it helps to get a basic grasp of evolution and the process of natural selection. Thinking about how this behavior would be useful in a hunter-gather, low tech society tends to help too.
