According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), a diagnosis of personality disorder generally includes a significant long-term deviation from cultural expectations that leads to significant distress or impairment in at least two of the following areas:

The way you understand and interpret yourself, others, and events
The appropriateness of your emotional reactions
How well do you do when dealing with others and in relationships
Whether you can control your desires
It can sometimes be difficult to determine the type of personality disorder, as some personality disorders share the same symptoms and there may be more than one type. Other disorders, such as depression, anxiety, or substance abuse, may make the diagnosis more complicated. But it is worth the time and effort to get an accurate diagnosis.
