Personality Disorder

We specialize in providing evidence-based, compassionate care to people with personality disorder (PD). At Seren Gobaith, every person is given the individualized support they require to live a happy and empowered life thanks to our person-centered, holistic approach.

What is Personality Disorder?

Personality Disorder (PD) refers to a group of mental health conditions that affect how individuals think, feel, and behave. These patterns of behavior can lead to challenges in relationships, work, and daily functioning. Common traits of PD may include:

Emotional Instability: Difficulty managing intense emotions or mood swings.
Impulsivity: Acting without considering the consequences.
Challenging Relationships: Difficulties in maintaining healthy interpersonal connections.
Identity Disturbance: A fragmented or unclear sense of self.

PD can manifest in various forms, including borderline, antisocial, narcissistic, and avoidant personality disorders, among others. Despite the challenges, with the right treatment and support, individuals with PD can achieve meaningful progress and improved well-being.
