Clinical Case Studies in Long-Term Care Psychiatry Narcissistic Personality Disorder
from Section 6 - Personality Disorders
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 October 2024
Personality traits are patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that remain relatively stable over a person’s life and strongly influence how people interact with and perceive the world. Personality disorders are personality traits that cluster in recognizable patterns and produce dysfunction in multiple areas of life. They do not respond well to pharmacologic interventions but are often accompanied by other psychiatric comorbidities. Recognizing personality disorders can help a provider avoid misdiagnosing psychiatric conditions, anticipate future care challenges, and counsel family and caregivers.
