Personality disorders reflect an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the norms and expectations of the surrounding culture. Individuals with personality disorders may experience distorted perceptions of reality and abnormal affective responses. The diagnosis of a personality disorder is made using criteria described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR). These disorders can adversely affect multiple aspects of life, including relationships, work, and overall functioning—underscoring the need for early intervention and interdisciplinary care. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing the symptoms and improving the quality of life for those affected.Participants in this course gain comprehensive knowledge on the evaluation and management of personality disorders. The course covers the criteria for diagnosis outlined in the DSM-5-TR, various therapeutic approaches, and the importance of early intervention. Emphasizing the role of the multidisciplinary team, the course illustrates how collaboration among mental health professionals, primary care providers, social workers, and other specialists enhances patient outcomes. Effective communication and coordinated care plans ensure that patients receive holistic treatment, addressing both the psychological and social aspects of personality disorders.
