Highly Effective Personality Disorder Treatment Thailand
Behavioural Modification for Borderline Personality Disorder and More

Understanding a personality disorder begins with how a ‘personality’ is shaped and defined.  Personality is the specific pattern of how you behave, as well as your moods, and style of social interactions. Though you might feel as though personality is your own creation, personality is heavily influenced both by genetics and the environment that you have grown up in. You may be diagnosed as having a personality disorder if these specific patterns of behaviour, moods, or interactions are causing severe disturbances in your everyday life. 

Though genetics play a major role in personality disorders, family circumstances and trauma can also contribute. A history of childhood abuse or neglect is a common factor, often additionally resulting in complex post-traumatic stress disorder. Left unaddressed, a personality disorder can have major impacts on a person’s life, as well as on their loved ones, making interpersonal relationships extremely difficult and threatening the social connections necessary for success in daily life.

Most people do not realise that a personality disorder is behind their feelings of fear or social isolation. Often it is family or a friend who will intervene and encourage treatment. Treatment has been shown to help improve the lives of those struggling with a personality disorder. The Dawn uses effective, modern therapies to help identify the root of buried emotional trauma and modify behaviour.

Types of Personality Disorders

‘Suspicious’ Personality Disorders

Paranoid Personality Disorder

People living with paranoid personality disorder will feel a marked sense of distrust and suspicion regarding anyone in their lives, including those they are close to. They will see threats, danger, and betrayal where others don’t.

Schizoid Personality Disorder

Those struggling with schizoid personality disorder will be withdrawn, disinterested in forming close relationships, and be emotionally cold towards others. They will be perceived as aloof and isolated.

Schizotypal Personality Disorder

Schizotypal personality disorder will cause a person to feel anxious, paranoid and tense, and have a hard time relating to others and forming close relationships. People often find them to be odd or to behave eccentrically.

Antisocial Personality Disorder

People living with antisocial personality disorder will often find themselves in trouble – with other people or with the law. They have very little impulse control, and are prone to boredom, aggression and even violence.

Signs and Symptoms of ‘Suspicious’ Personality Disorders

  • Constant mistrust and concern about hidden motives
  • Hypervigilance
  • Avoidance of close social contact or relationships
  • Reactions that may be considered inappropriate
  • Persistent anxiety
  • Odd beliefs, thoughts and behaviours
  • Unusual perceptual experiences
  • Irresponsible or delinquent behaviour
  • Violence

‘Emotional and Impulsive’ Personality Disorders

Borderline Personality Disorder

People with borderline personality disorder can experience rapid mood swings, impulsiveness, and feelings of self-harm. Turbulent or toxic relationships are common for those living with this disorder.

Histrionic Personality Disorder

Dramatic, overemotional, and constantly striving to be at the centre of attention, those struggling with histrionic personality disorder often feel deep discomfort if they’re not a source of entertainment, and generally have a strong dependency on others.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Narcissistic personality disorder can manifest in selfishness and taking advantage of others due to a strong sense of entitlement and superiority. People with this disorder are heavily reliant on external praise and recognition, though resent the success of others.

Signs and Symptoms of ‘Emotional and Impulsive’ Personality Disorders

  • Mood swings
  • Impulsive or risky behaviours
  • Periods of intense anxiety, anger or boredom
  • Excessively dramatic or emotional
  • Extreme selfishness and disregard for others’ feelings
  • Overly provocative or flirtatious
  • Easily hurt or offended
  • Strong sense of entitlement

‘Anxious’ Personality Disorders

Avoidant Personality Disorder

For those living with avoidant personality disorder, life is often filled with the expectation of ridicule, shame or disapproval of others, and self-imposed isolation as a way to cope. Sufferers are extremely sensitive, feel inferior to others, and are often very lonely.

Dependent Personality Disorder

Those struggling with this type of disorder will find it nearly impossible to take responsibility for their lives or prioritise their needs, and experience an intense fear of separation. They lack the self-confidence needed to assert their rights and make their own decisions.

Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder

People living with this disorder struggle to express emotions with warmth or tenderness, often striving for rigid perfectionism and setting unreasonably high standards for themselves and others.

Signs and Symptoms of ‘Anxious’ Personality Disorders

  • Low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy
  • Extremely shy or withdrawn or clingy and needy
  • Unable to make decisions or advocate for oneself or unable to relinquish control
  • Rigid and inflexible in most situations
