Blogpost 8: Personality Disorder

Do ever feel like empty? A little voice inside your  head tells you what you should do or not? Getting high with no reason at all? Sometimes being paranoid or you always make out of control to yourself. Anxiety, Paranomias, Pathological Gambling. These are one of the  various kinds of a personality disorder. All of us has different aspects of personality disorders.  Most of this had a proven fact why people causes that kind of situation but not all had been proven what that causes of  had never been diagnosed. So as a student having this kind of research can expand my knowledge  regarding to the several personality disorders.

I found an article entitled "Overview of Personality Disorders" By Kendra Cherry According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, a personality disorder is an "Enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectation of the individual's culture, is pervasive and inflexible,has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to distress or impairment." Because these disorders are chronic and pervasive,they can lead to serious impairments in daily life and functioning”.

Kendra Cherry said that, "Personality disorders common cause is because of our life experiences that averted the growth of our normal thought and behavior pattern that starts from teenage years" I agree that as a teenager, I know that this is the stage where we develop our own thoughts, ideas, opinion and own point of view. Adolescence is a very crucial stage. And it is important that we would be guided and surrounded by the right person in this period of time to prevent thought that will definitely affect their feelings and lead to wrong judgment and influence their actions towards others. 

Another article entitled "Personality Disorders and Personality Traits" by John M. Grohol Personality disorders form a class of mental disorders that are characterized by long-lasting rigid patterns of thought and behavior. Personality disorders are seen by professionals and researchers as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it.

As said by John M. Grohol, Psy.D “Personality disorders tend to be an integral part of a person, and therefore, are difficult to treat or cure.” It turns out to be part of person and believed to be tough to “cure”. In conclusion, what we can do is lessen their distress and impairment in personal and social situation by adjusting and understanding their condition because it is said that this symptoms typically get worse with stress. 

Our personality  portrays a large part of us. The way that we reflect to ourselves, feel and  behave that creates us all individuals. For the most part of the time, our personality allows us to get on soundly well with other people, but a few of us, this isn't real. If you have a personality disorder, parts of your personality make it hard for you to live with yourself and/or other people.
