Personality disorders
NIMH: The Numbers Count-Mental Disorders in America.
Personality disorders represent "an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the
expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it." These patterns tend to be fixed and consistent across situations
and are typically perceived to be appropriate by the individual even though they may markedly affect their day-to-day life in
negative ways. Among American adults ages 18 and over, an estimated 9.1% have a diagnosable personality disorder.
Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by an individual's disregard for social rules and cultural norms, impulsive
behavior, and indifference to the rights and feelings of others. Approximately 1.0 percent of people aged 18 or over have
antisocial personality disorder.
Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by extreme social inhibition, sensitivity to negative evaluation, and feelings of
inadequacy. Individuals with avoidant personality disorder frequently avoid social interaction for fear of being ridiculed,
humiliated, or disliked. An estimated 5.2 percent of people age 18 or older have an avoidant personality disorder.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is defined by the DSM-IV as "a pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal
relationships, self-image and affects, as well as marked impulsivity, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of
contexts.” Approximately 1.6 percent of Americans age 18 or older have BPD
