Personality disorders Please tipes reduce Problem

Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan

Psychiatry

There are several major types of personality disorders identified which are diagnosed after clinical examination and history. Psychiatric assessment is based on history, clinical symptoms, personality factors, ongoing psychosocial stressors and frequency and severity of symptoms. It requires direct interaction with the patient on a regular basis. Once diagnosed, a management plan is formed based on intensity and frequency of symptoms and associated biological and psycho social factors. A complete solution to ones problems in a single question is thus not possible. I suggest you to visit a psychiatrist in your vicinity for clinical evaluation.
