Personality disorders - Diagnostics
A person's personality refers to the totality of their characteristics and traits, i.e. their experience and behavior. This includes a person's individual and long-term patterns of thinking, feeling and acting.
Personality disorders are therefore defined as problems that are related to a person's personality.
These problems can be seen in
- Difficulties in relationships with other people
- an altered self-perception
- Low stress tolerance or high emotional tension
- A high level of suffering
- A reduced quality of life
Treatment as part of psychological therapy or psychotherapy aims to change impairing patterns of experience and behavior and reduce the level of suffering. In addition, a combination with psychopharmacological therapy can be useful to alleviate stressful symptoms (e.g. anxiety, mood swings). The indication for this must be made in consultation with a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapeutic medicine.
A careful clinical-psychological diagnosis is essential for planning further treatment steps in order to adapt them to the individual problems of the person concerned.
Diagnostics
An examination by a specialist in psychiatry should always take place before the clinical-psychological diagnosis. A detailed assessment of experience and behavior as well as a recommendation for the next steps is then made as part of the clinical-psychological diagnosis.
