Personality Disorder: Three Clusters of Personality Disorder

 Author: Asia Nisar

Personality Disorder

Personality is a way of thinking, feeling, and behaving that makes a person different from others. Experience, environment (environment, living conditions), and genetic traits influence a person's personality. However, a person's personality usually remains the same over time. A personality disorder is a deviation of thoughts, emotions, and behavior from cultural expectations that causes discomfort or functional problems that persist over time.


There are ten specific types of personality disorders. Personality disorders are chronic patterns of behavior and internal experience that vary widely from expectations. Experience and behavioral patterns begin in late adolescence or early adulthood and create discomfort or difficulty at work. Without treatment, personality disorders can become chronic. Personality disorders affect at least two of the following:


         A way of thinking about yourself and others

         A way of emotionally responding

         Ways to connect with others

         A way to control their behavior

The Three Clusters of Personality Disorder

Cluster A

The Odd, Eccentric Cluster Includes;

Paranoid Personality Disorder

PPD is the pattern of being suspicious of others and seeing them as unkind or frightening. People with dementia often think that people are hurting or being deceived, that they do not trust others or that they are close to one another.


Symptoms

The following are the symptoms of paranoid personality disorder.

    Doubts about the promise, loyalty, or trustworthiness of others, believe you are using or attracting others

    You are reluctant to trust others or disclose personal information for fear of using the information against them

      They are extraordinary and merciful

      Feels negative and does not take criticism seriously

      Read the secrets and notes of innocent people or the appearance of others on a daily basis

      Identify fights against their invisible behaviors; they are often angry and quick to resist

      Frequent suspicion, for no apparent reason, that marriage mates or lovers are not important

    They tend to be cold-tempered in their dealings with others, and they can become warnings and envy

      They cannot see their work in trouble or conflict and believe it is always good

      You have difficulty resting

      They are enemies, stubborn and controversial


Causes

The exact cause of PPD is not known, but it is likely to be a combination of biological and psychological factors. The fact that PPD is often associated with schizophrenia is closely related to the fact that there is a genetic link between these two diseases. Childhood experiences, including physical or emotional trauma, are also suspected of playing a role in the development of PPD.


Schizoid Personality Disorder

They are being detached from social relationships and expressing little emotion. A schizoid does not like relationships, prefers to be alone, and seems to ignore the praise or criticism of others.


Symptoms

The following are the symptoms of schizoid personality disorder.

         Select tasks and responsibilities individually.

         They take pleasure in a few activities, including sexual activity.

         They do not have good friends, only high school students.

         They have difficulties for others.

         They do not think of praise or criticism.

         They are aloof and show little emotion.

         They may dream of spending a day and/or wondering in a difficult life.


Causes

The root cause of schizophrenic fever in patients with severe disease is unknown, but genetics and the environment are thought to play a role. Some psychiatrists think that children who are not emotionally involved can be in big trouble. The high risk of schizoid disease in the schizophrenia family suggests that the genes involved in the disease may be beneficial.


Schizotypal Personality Disorder

Schizotypal personality is a pattern of feeling very uncomfortable in close relationships with distorted eccentric thoughts and behaviors. A person with schizophrenia may have strange opinions or strange or strange behaviors, or speech, or may have too much social anxiety.

Symptoms

The following are the symptoms of schizotypal personality disorder.

         Unusual sensations, such as detecting the presence or absence of an absent person

Causes

Personality is a mixture of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that makes you unique. It's how you see, understand, and relate to the world around you, as well as how you see yourself. The form of personality in childhood is formed by the interplay of hereditary tendencies and environmental factors.

In normal development, over time, children learn to communicate appropriately with others, interpret social cues, and respond appropriately and flexibly to social situations. What goes wrong in someone with schizophrenia is not exactly known, but changes in brain function, genetics, environmental impact, and learning behaviors are likely to play a role.

Cluster B

However, children of parents with this disorder can only repeat learned behaviors.

Other environmental factors that may be involved are the lack of criticism or punishment as a child, positive reinforcement that is only provided when a child completes a certain accepted behavior, and the unexpected attention that parents give to the child, all leading to confusion about what kind.
