galen hope offers in-depth programs for clients experiencing personality disorders
Often beginning in the teen years or early adulthood, personality disorders, which may include schizoid personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, or dependent personality disorder, impact the way individuals feel about themselves and others. This may cause problems with their relationships and functioning in social activities, work, and school. Galen Hope clinicians are here to help clients identify and manage personality disorders to improve your quality of life.
types of personality disorders
There are numerous types of personality disorders that impact thoughts, moods, and reactions to various situations in life. Personality disorders often co-occur with trauma, depression, anxiety disorders, and substance use or eating disorders.
Examples of personality disorders include:
- schizoid personality disorder, in which individuals have limited emotional expression and social detachment
- borderline personality disorder, which encompasses self-image issues, difficulty regulating emotions and behavior, and a pattern of unstable, often overly intense relationships
- dependent personality disorder, in which individuals are overly submissive or clingy, need constant reassurance, have low self-confidence, have difficulty making independent decisions, and experience feelings of helplessness
If you or someone you love has symptoms of personality disorders, reach out to Galen Hope today.
