List of personnality disorders
Everything about personnality disorders
A personality disorder is a type of mental disorder in which you have
a rigid and unhealthy pattern of thinking, functioning and behaving. A
person with a personality disorder has trouble perceiving and relating
to situations and people. This causes significant problems and
limitations in relationships, social activities, work and school.
In some cases, you may not realize that you have a personality
disorder because your way of thinking and behaving seems natural to you.
And you may blame others for the challenges you face.
Personality disorders usually begin in the teenage years or early
adulthood. There are many types of personality disorders. Some types may
become less obvious throughout middle age.
There are six prominent personality traits/patterns categorised by the ICD-11 :
- Negative affectivity ("tendency to experience a broad range of negative emotions.")
- Detachment ("tendency to maintain interpersonal distance (social detachment) and emotional distance (emotional detachment).")

self-centredness and lack of empathy." Equivalent to the DSM-5
classification of antisocial personality disorder.)
- Disinhibition
("tendency to act rashly based on immediate external or internal
stimuli (i.e., sensations, emotions, thoughts), without consideration of
potential negative consequences.")
- Anankastia
("narrow focus on one’s rigid standard of perfection and of right and
wrong, and on controlling one’s own and others’ behaviour and
controlling situations to ensure conformity to these standards."

pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image, and
affects, and marked impulsivity". Equivalent to the DSM-5 classification
