Personality disorders can be complex and challenging to navigate, but you don’t have to face them alone. California Mental Health provides specialized and compassionate treatment for individuals with personality disorders. Our goal is to help you achieve greater emotional stability, improve relationships, and lead a more fulfilling life.

Understanding Personality Disorders

It involves enduring patterns of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that deviate from societal expectations. These patterns can cause significant distress and impairment in daily life. Our experienced team understands the nuances of such disorders and is dedicated to offering effective treatment.

Symptoms of Personality Disorder

It encompasses a wide range of symptoms and can manifest differently in each individual. Some symptoms commonly associated with various types of personality disorders include:

Unstable Self-Image

Individuals may need help with a fluctuating sense of self, leading to confusion about their values, goals, and identity.

Difficulty in Relationships

Maintaining stable and healthy relationships can be challenging due to trust issues, fear of abandonment, or an inability to connect emotionally.

Fear of Abandonment

A constant worry about being left behind or rejected often causes someone to act clingy or desperate in relationships.

Difficulty Trusting Others

Suspicion, paranoia, and an inherent belief that others have malicious intentions can hinder the development of trust and closeness with others.

Avoidant Behavior

Avoidance of social interactions, new experiences, or situations that might trigger feelings of inadequacy or embarrassment.

Difficulty Controlling Anger

Difficulty managing anger, resulting in frequent outbursts, aggression, or extreme irritability, impacting relationships and overall functioning.

Persistent Feelings of Emptiness

Individuals may describe an ongoing sense of emptiness and an inability to find purpose or satisfaction in life.

Chronic Feelings of Loneliness

Even in social situations, individuals may experience profound feelings of isolation and alienation, struggling to connect with others.

Sensitivity to Criticism or Rejection

Responding strongly to criticism or perceived rejection, often experiencing extreme emotional reactions such as rage, humiliation, or deep sadness.

Difficulty Adapting to Change

Extreme discomfort or distress when faced with an unexpected change or when taken out of familiar routines and environments.

Impulsivity and Risk-Taking Behavior

Engaging in impulsive actions without considering potential consequences or risks is a common symptom, often resulting from a lack of self-control.

Mood Swings and Emotional Instability

Frequent and intense shifts in mood, from euphoria to intense sadness or anger, can be observed, making it difficult to regulate emotions.

Our Holistic Approach to Personality Disorder Treatment

Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand the specific nature of your personality disorder, including its impact on your relationships and daily functioning. This assessment guides the development of your personalized treatment plan.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a therapy backed by research, emphasizing emotional regulation, interpersonal skills, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. It has shown notable effectiveness, especially in addressing borderline personality disorder and other related personality disorders.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps individuals recognize and change unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors associated with their personality disorder. It provides practical strategies for coping with challenging situations.

Medication Management

In some cases, medication may be a part of your treatment plan to alleviate specific symptoms or co-occurring conditions. Our board-certified psychiatrists can provide medication management as needed.
