Living with a personality disorder — whether antisocial, narcissistic, or avoidant — can bring unique challenges to relationships, work, and self-esteem. These conditions are often misunderstood, leaving individuals and families feeling isolated or judged. At Reverent Health Psychiatry, we provide empathetic, nonjudgmental, and professional telehealth care for personality disorders across New York and Tennessee. Our goal is to support each patient in building healthier coping strategies, fostering stronger connections, and moving toward meaningful, sustainable change.
Understanding Personality Disorders
While each personality disorder presents differently, they often share patterns of long-standing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that create distress or interfere with daily life.
Examples include:
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD): Difficulty respecting social norms, impulsivity, or disregard for others’ rights.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): Intense focus on self-image, need for admiration, and struggles with empathy.
Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD): Deep fear of criticism or rejection, leading to social withdrawal despite desire for connection.
These are not signs of weakness but conditions that deserve understanding and care.
