Personality Disorders Medication Prescribers in Davidson, North Carolina

Personality is a way of thinking, feeling, and behaving that makes us unique and individual. A personality disorder is when personality interferes with one's participation in daily activities (like work or relationships), causes distress, and differs from cultural expectations, and remains this way over time. The problematic patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that are characteristic of personality disorders usually start by late adolescence or early adulthood and, without treatment, can adversely affect a person’s life over the long-term.

Personality disorders generally require longer-term and knowledgeable care from mental health professionals trained in specialized therapies. Often, this involves medication prescribers helping individuals gain insight and better understand their challenges. Medication prescribers can teach individuals new skills for managing emotions, navigating relationships, and developing more helpful thinking patterns and behaviors. Medication prescribers might also focus on helping individuals understand the factors that shaped their personality, reducing feelings of shame and self-blame. The best-fitting therapeutic modality depends on the specific type of personality disorder as well as personal preference.
