A personality disorder is a constellation of personality and behavioral traits in which the individual displays patterns of thinking, perceiving, relating to, and interacting with the environment, the self, and other people in ways that are maladaptive and/or inflexible. Typically, this creates conditions which cause distress for the individual and/or people around that individual and in some cases may bring the individual into conflict with other people or with society as a whole.
