Fulltext PDFPersonality disorders represent pervasive patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience that deviate significantly from societal expectations. They have a profound impact on individuals' lives and interpersonal relationships, underscoring the crucial importance of their recognition and accurate diagnosis in clinical practice. This case series emphasizes the clinical diagnostic application of prevalent personality disorders in daily practice, highlighting their relevance in comprehending and effectively managing patients' mental health. The co-occurrence of personality disorders with other mental health conditions adds complexity to diagnosis and treatment, necessitating the identification of comorbidities for comprehensive patient care. The diagnostic process requires sensitivity and a holistic assessment, considering both the patient's history and current functioning. Engaging patients in the diagnostic process enhances rapport and treatment adherence. Recognizing and diagnosing common personality disorders in daily clinical practice is fundamental for delivering appropriate care and enhancing patients' mental health and quality of life. Knowledge of these disorders equips healthcare professionals with the tools to develop targeted interventions and foster therapeutic relationships.
