Personality disorders fall into three separate clusters. Each condition has its own specific diagnostic criteria and symptoms.

Cluster B personality disorders are characterized by overly emotional, dramatic, and often unpredictable behaviors and thought patterns. These disorders can contribute to self-destructive patterns, poor interpersonal relationships, and significant disruptions in daily life.

Everyone experiences a slump now and then, but depression tends to run a bit deeper than a case of the blues. Depression can range from mild to severe, and can affect anyone from any demographic.

Cluster C personality disorders are characterized by anxious and fearful thinking and behaviors. These personality disorders can cause extreme distress and may be damaging to personal relationships. Treatment consists of medication and therapy to address problematic behaviors and thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and fear.
