2. Personality disorder

Personality is defined as the stable patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior that distinguish individuals from one another, influenced by genetic, neuropsychological, and social factors. Personality disorders are characterized by deeply ingrained maladaptive behavior patterns that persist from adolescence into adulthood, leading to significant distress or impairment. These disorders are categorized into clusters A, B, and C, each with distinct traits and prevalence rates, and management typically involves psychotherapy and, in some cases, medication.
