    Personality disorders are patterns of behavior that deviate from cultural expectations and impair relationships and functioning. They are maladaptive, ingrained, and pervasive traits that manifest as inflexible responses across situations. Personality disorders are grouped into three clusters based on common characteristics: Cluster A includes odd or eccentric disorders like paranoid and schizoid; Cluster B includes dramatic, emotional or erratic disorders like borderline; and Cluster C includes anxious or fearful disorders like avoidant. Each disorder is associated with different traits, behaviors, and perceptions.
