People with personality disorders have difficulty dealing with everyday stresses and problems. That's because they tend to be inflexible, rigid, and unable to respond to the changes and demands of life. These behaviors and thought patterns usually result in stormy relationships with friends, family and co-workers.

"I have Borderline Personality Disorder and so I know how hard it is to have a relationship with someone who has the disorder. I'm constantly battling everyone around me (and myself); for really no reason at all."

In the HealthyPlace.com Personality Disorders Community, we have authoritative, in-depth information on all aspects of these disorders; from signs and symptoms to diagnosis and treatments.
