What Are Personality Disorders?
7. Does Medication Work for These Disorders?
Because personality disorders are largely behavior-based, it would be difficult to overcome the symptoms of a personality disorder with medication alone. However, it is often prescribed in conjunction with therapy for patients who need it.
Medication does not change a person’s thought patterns, but it can help with the symptoms of several personality disorders. For example, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and antidepressants can help with symptoms like impulsiveness, unstable mood, and psychotic thoughts.
