What Are Personality Disorders?
8. What Are the Possible Causes of Personality Disorders?
The cause of personality disorders in general is not known. It’s not as simple as saying that a patient has a certain gene, chemical imbalance, or vitamin deficiency that causes illness. It’s thought that some personality disorders can run in families, while others stem from an abusive childhood.
There are no solid answers when it comes to personality disorders, but thankfully, there are a number of beneficial treatments. With a combination of the right therapist and medication, a patient with a personality disorder may begin to discover and manage his or her triggers.
