Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions involving a pattern of maladaptive behaviours and functioning, and cognitive limitations exhibited across many contexts including relationships. People with personality disorders often have a hard time understanding emotions and tolerating distress with engagement in acting impulsively. There are many types of personality disorders with different characteristics, however living with a personality disorder impacts a person's ability to engage with others, navigate relationships or engage in self-management or self-care tasks due to emotional dysregulation.
