Attention-seeking, theatrical and shallow emotional displays, and improper seductive conduct are all symptoms of histrionic personality disorder. Histrionic originates from the Greek word for actor, and people with this illness frequently appear to be acting a part because they have exaggerated, dramatic reactions to events.
Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by sentiments of grandiosity (confidence in one's specialness, superiority, and significance) and entitlement (thinking that one deserves better treatment than others), and it is frequently accompanied with delusions of gaining wealth, power, and acclaim. People with this disease can become depressed when real life fails to meet their inflated ego expectations. In general, they don't perceive themselves as having a problem because it's always other people's fault for failing to acknowledge how fantastic they are.
A borderline personality disorder is connected with self-destructive conduct and an unstable sense of self, emotions, and relationships. People suffering from this disorder may fluctuate between idealizing and demeaning those close to them, and they may have a strong fear of abandonment. Because they have difficulties controlling their emotions, they might be impulsive and reckless.
A history of violating the rights of others and delinquent behavior is related with antisocial personality disorder. This diagnosis was created as a behavioral interpretation of psychopathy, a syndrome first observed in criminals. Because the diagnostic criteria for each are not exactly the same, the two are currently regarded overlapping yet separate concepts.
Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by an extreme fear of rejection, low self-esteem, and feelings of inadequacy. People with schizoid personality disorder, on the other hand, have a great need for deep relationships but struggle to create and keep them due to their severe shyness and feelings of inadequacy.
People suffering from schizoid personality disorder are frequently uninterested in interpersonal interactions and have little desire to create sexual or romantic commitments. Although they are not usually bothered by this, individuals may face difficulties in their daily lives, such as homelessness and trouble finding work, as a result of their social isolation. They also have a tendency to appear emotionally unresponsive. Because of their resemblance to aspects of schizophrenia, schizoid and schizotypal personality disorders are commonly referred to as ""schizophrenia-spectrum diseases."" A schizoid presentation, on the other hand, differs from schizotypal personality disorder in that it is not linked with psychotic-type symptoms such as strange ideas and experiences.
Schizotypal personality disorder is marked by unique views and experiences that are not widely accepted as normal in one's culture, as well as chronic uneasiness with others, especially those well known to one. Some psychiatrists believe that this disease is a milder form of schizophrenia because the symptoms are similar (e.g., experiencing and/or believing things that are not real), albeit less severe.
