Personality Disorders

Compassionate and Comprehensive Care for Personality Disorders

Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by enduring patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience that deviate significantly from the expectations of the individual's culture. These patterns are inflexible, pervasive, and lead to distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of functioning. Personality disorders typically begin in adolescence or early adulthood and can affect relationships, self-perception, and overall quality of life. Common types of personality disorders include borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and antisocial personality disorder.


Understanding personality disorders is crucial for effective treatment and management. These conditions are often complex and can coexist with other mental health issues, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. However, with the right combination of therapy, support, and, in some cases, medication, individuals with personality disorders can achieve significant improvements in their functioning and well-being. Early intervention and a comprehensive treatment plan can help individuals manage symptoms and lead more fulfilling lives.

At Vital Psych MD, our care team is led by Dr. Kalvin Kapoor, a double board-certified psychiatrist with over 8 years of experience in treating OCD and related conditions. Our licensed therapists and psychiatric nurse practitioners collaborate to ensure each patient receives expert, evidence-based care.
