Personality, or personality, is a person's fixed behavior pattern and habitual way of dealing with people in daily activities. It is the synthesis of all psychological characteristics. Personality disorder refers to the obvious deviation from the normal and deep-rooted way of behavior, with the nature of maladjustment. Its personality is abnormal in content, quality or the whole personality. For this reason, patients suffer and / or make others suffer, or bring adverse effects to individuals or society. Let's talk about the symptoms of personality disorder

Treatment of personality disorder

Drug therapy: Generally speaking, drug therapy is difficult to change the personality structure, but a small amount of medication is still helpful when there are abnormal stress and emotional reactions. Generally, long-term application and conventional use are not advocated, because the long-term effect is difficult to confirm.

Psychotherapy: people with personality disorder generally do not take the initiative to seek medical treatment, often in conflict with the environment and society and feel pain or emotional sleep symptoms, very "helpless" to the hospital. Through in-depth contact with patients, doctors can establish a good relationship with them, help them to understand where their personality defects are, encourage them to change their behavior patterns, and encourage and strengthen their positive changes. One of the purposes of personality disorder treatment is to help patients establish good behavior patterns and correct bad habits. It is quite difficult to directly change the behavior of patients, but it can make patients avoid being exposed to the situation of inducing bad behavior as far as possible. For example, aggressive people are not aggressive in any situation, and shy people are not shy in any place. It is of great significance to find the occasion or factors that stimulate abnormal behavior for treatment and prevention. If compulsive personality has the tendency of "perfectionism", it can be engaged in the work with low tension and loose responsibility. In addition, we should avoid the hint of failure and provide more opportunities for the development of normal personality.

Cognitive therapy: therapists focus on thinking and belief patterns, which are characteristic of personality disorders and cause emotional and behavioral problems. They tried to change the cognition of people with personality disorder by conventional cognitive therapy. Although some people think that this treatment is very effective, there has not been a controlled trial to evaluate its efficacy. Cognitive analysis therapy is a combination of cognitive therapy and analytical psychotherapy. Some people use this treatment for borderline personality disorder, but its value has not been confirmed by clinical trials.
