Personality disorders are known for causing marked differences in thinking, feeling, and ways of behaving. These differences are outside cultural norms, which can cause challenges in various areas of life. Professionals use the DSM-5-TR, developed by the American Psychological Association, as a resource to better understand the symptoms and presentations of these disorders.
Personality disorders are divided into three groups that have shared characteristics and symptoms. Cluster A personality disorders involve odd or eccentric characteristics. Cluster B personality disorders tend to experience emotions fiercely, which may be perceived as dramatic or emotional. These disorders may also include erratic behaviors. The final group is Cluster C personality disorders, which include anxious or fearful behaviors.
Personality disorder causes are still a focus of research because we haven’t been able to pinpoint an exact cause. Instead, we know of factors that can increase your risk of developing a personality disorder. Factors that can affect the development of personality disorder include:
Personality disorder treatment programs are structured and often comprehensive mental health programs. The goal of these treatment centers is to help you manage and cope with your personality disorder symptoms. These symptoms can include various thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that have created challenges in your life.
A healthcare facility like AMFM addresses personality disorder characteristics through psychotherapy, medication management services, and skill-building. With the right treatment and support, you can implement healthy thinking patterns and behaviors that can improve your quality of life.
Personality disorder diagnoses are reserved for those who are 18 and older. However, personality disorder symptoms may begin during adolescence and teenage years in some cases. For you to meet the diagnostic criteria for a personality disorder, your symptoms will minimally affect at least two of the following areas:
Personality disorders are often misunderstood, which is affected by the portrayal of them in the media. A personality disorder diagnosis requires a set of symptoms and criteria. The National Institute of Mental Health indicated that the prevalence of any personality disorder in the U.S. is 9.1%. Individuals can have some symptoms that are similar to a personality disorder that is the result of other factors, including a history of trauma. To receive professional feedback regarding your symptoms and concerns, we encourage you to contact A Mission For Michael and speak with an admission counselor.
Personality disorder treatment with health insurance support can vary significantly in cost. This is due to the variations in symptoms and their severity, the care you receive, and many other elements. That said, inpatient care often comes with higher out-of-pocket expenses than programs in an outpatient treatment center.
The scope of your insurance plan is the biggest factor affecting your out-of-pocket expenses for personality disorder treatment. Insurance companies offer a range of products and services, which means that no two plans are the same. To provide you with a personalized quote for personality disorder treatments, we need to verify your insurance. You can start this process by completing our insurance verification form so that we can contact your insurance provider directly for the necessary details.
There are healthcare facilities, like A Mission For Michael (AMFM), that offer free and confidential assessments for mental health concerns. At AMFM, we provide assessments that include personality disorder testing to determine appropriate treatment recommendations based on your symptoms and struggles.
After completing our personality disorder assessment and testing, you’ll have a better understanding of your symptoms and what treatment options are available to you. If you are interested in personality disorder treatment programs, we can provide you with personalized quotes for our recommended programs. To learn more about the available personality disorder therapy options at AMFM, we invite you to call us today!
There are ten different personality disorders outlined within the DSM-5-TR. As you continue reading, you will notice the distinct differences among these disorders. If you find that you’re able to relate to the personality disorder symptoms listed, you can contact AMFM for further exploration of your symptoms.
Histrionic personality disorder is known for causing attention-seeking behaviors and intense emotional reactions. You may feel uncomfortable when attention is focused on others instead of yourself and experience rapidly shifting moods. You may use clothing and an eccentric appearance to bring attention to yourself.
Avoidant personality disorder can cause feelings of inadequacy, extreme shyness, and a sensitivity to criticism and other forms of feedback. You may feel uncomfortable in social situations and are often resistant to interacting with others when there is a chance that you may be unliked.
Paranoid personality disorder can make individuals question those around them. You may perceive others as being mean or spiteful. Those with PPD often assume that others will lie, harm, or manipulate them, which can make it difficult to establish social support. The prevalence of PPD ranges from 1.2% to 4.4% in the United States.
Antisocial personality disorder is known for causing a clear disregard for others’ rights. Other key characteristics include deceitfulness, impulsivity, aggressiveness and irritability, irresponsibleness, and a lack of remorse. This condition is often undiagnosed and misunderstood. Prevalence rates for this disorder are believed to be between 0.6% and 3.6% in the United States.
Borderline personality disorder is known for causing intense mood fluctuations and intense emotional reactions that are challenging to manage. BPD commonly comes with a history of unhealthy relationships, affected by a fear of abandonment. Other BPD symptoms include poor self-image, impulsivity, and past suicide attempts.
Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder’s key features include a preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and control. Without flexibility in these three areas, it can be challenging to complete daily tasks and manage day-to-day responsibilities. Individuals often have set beliefs and try to control those around them and their environments.
Schizotypal personality disorder can make close relationships uncomfortable. Deep concern or mistrust can contribute to having odd beliefs, peculiar speech patterns or behaviors, and feeling anxious in social situations. You may believe in special powers, are superstitious, and experience illusions.
Schizoid personality can cause little, if any, interest in personal relationships with others. Others may have told you that you keep to yourself or feel as though you don’t care for others when the truth is you struggle to show emotions as others do.
Dependent personality disorder can create submissive behaviors that are often perceived as being clingy. Those living with this disorder usually have others caring for them because they struggle to make decisions in their life. They also seek reassurance from others because they do not believe that they can care for themselves on their own.
Narcissistic personality disorder characteristics involve thinking highly of oneself and one’s abilities. Individuals often take advantage of others, lack empathy, and may have fantasies about their success and level of admiration. These characteristics can lead to anger when others don’t do as they think they should. This condition is more common in males than females.

Various therapeutic approaches can be used to treat personality disorders. Your clinical team will use techniques and interventions that are known to effectively treat your symptoms. Therapies work by targeting problematic behaviors, thought patterns, and emotion regulation capabilities. Therapies that may be incorporated into your treatment include, but are not limited to:
Interpersonal therapy can help you strengthen your relationships by learning effective communication skills. Treatment focuses on addressing interpersonal conflicts you experience. You will also learn to recognize, set, and maintain healthy boundaries within relationships. Your therapist may invite you to role-play relational situations to practice implementing these skills.
Transference-focused psychotherapy can help you understand how your previous experiences have led to your current emotional reactions within your relationships. By embracing the patient-therapist relationship, you can recognize your thinking and behavioral patterns that contribute to your symptoms. This allows you to have healthier relationships with others.
Schema-focused therapy is often used to treat borderline personality disorder. With this approach, you can learn how your core beliefs are connected to your personality disorder symptoms. This can include exploring your early life and childhood experiences to identify the long-term effects they’ve had on you. Treatment incorporates various cognitive, behavioral, and experiential strategies to encourage emotional healing.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy focuses on learning more about your unconscious defense mechanisms and conflicts. This allows you to gain insight into the underlying factors contributing to your personality disorder symptoms. Your treatment will focus on resolving your inner conflicts to decrease the symptoms and impairment you experience.
Dialectical behavior therapy is a cognitive therapy that embraces mindfulness practices and principles. This approach is commonly used to treat borderline personality disorder. With DBT, you can learn valuable emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, as well as interpersonal skills to strengthen your relationships.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is grounded in the belief that our thoughts, feelings, and unhealthy behaviors are all connected. This approach focuses on helping you address your automatic thought patterns that lead to concerning feelings and behaviors. This shift can help decrease the presence of personality disorder symptoms and improve your overall level of functioning.
Mindfulness-based therapies incorporate mindfulness practices in an intentional manner that can help you gain self-awareness. Mindfulness skills can also help elevate your emotion regulation skills and reduce unhealthy patterns of rumination. You will learn to be in the present moment while accepting and not judging your internal experiences.
Gestalt therapy commonly incorporates role-playing exercises to help you gain awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Your treatment can focus on addressing unresolved conflicts and connecting fragmented aspects of yourself. This allows you to develop a consistent and authentic sense of self.

Personality disorder treatment is often incorporated into health insurance coverage due to the impact that it can have on your functioning. Insurance coverage usually includes coverage for inpatient treatment centers for those experiencing severe symptoms. Outpatient treatment and psychotherapy may be covered for continued support for personality disorder symptoms.
Personality disorder treatment often requires an integrated approach that may include the use of medications alongside psychotherapy. Personality disorder medications can address specific symptoms such as anxiety and depression. Insurance providers are required to provide some level of coverage for psychiatric care and psychotherapy and often provide prescription drug coverage options.
Because of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, many insurance companies incorporate personality disorder treatment into their coverage. Popular health insurance providers who usually cover personality disorder treatment include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, ComPsych, Magellan Health, and UnitedHealth Care.
