Personality Disorder Treatment

Personality disorders are serious mental disorders that affect an individual’s way of thinking, feeling, and behaving, causing a lot of difficulties in their day-to-day life. At DeLand Treatment Solutions, we provide professional treatment in dealing with these disorders, to help people change their lives for the better.

Understanding Personality Disorders

Personality disorders are characterized by persistent patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that deviate from cultural expectations and cause significant distress or impairment. There are several types of personality disorders, each with its own set of symptoms and challenges:

• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): It is characterized by unstable relationships, self-image, emotions, and impulsive behavior.
• Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): Having high self-esteem, the craving for admiration, and no regard for others’ needs.
• Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD): Lack of respect for other people’s rights most of the time resulting in factors such as cheating, lying, or even engaging in criminal activities.
• Other Personality Disorders: Such as avoidant personality disorder, which is characterized by extreme shyness and sensitivity to rejection, and dependent personality disorder, which is characterized by an excessive need to be taken care of.

Treatment Options

Treatment at DeLand Treatment Solutions is fully based on research and evidence, with personalized treatment plans to suit every client’s needs. Our comprehensive treatment plans enable the patients to manage their symptoms, improve their relationships, and achieve a better quality of life.

Individual Therapy:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focuses on behavioral modification, realizing that thoughts and actions are interconnected.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Derived from cognitive behavioral therapy but includes strategies related to mindfulness in managing mood and restraining self-harming behaviors.
• Group Therapy: It offers an opportunity to connect with people facing similar conditions and create a sense of community to share healthy coping mechanisms.
• Medication Management: In some instances, the doctor may prescribe some drugs required to address anxiety, depression, or even mood swings.
• Family Therapy and Support: The involvement of family in the treatment process is very important since it helps in the establishment of a support system and helps in communication.
• Holistic and Complementary Therapies: These therapies, for example, mindfulness, yoga, and art therapy, are among the available therapies that can complement the treatment plan.
