Avoidant Personality Disorder

Personality Disorders
 
A personality disorder is a persistent pattern of emotions, cognitions and behavior that results in enduring emotional distress for the person affected and/or for others and may cause difficulties with work and relationships. DSM-5 divides the personality disorders into three groups or clusters. The cluster division is based on resemblance. Cluster A is called the odd or eccentric clusters; it includes paranoid, schizoid and schizotypal personality disorders. Cluster B is the dramatic, emotional or erratic cluster; it consists of antisocial, borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personality disorders. Cluster C is the anxious or fearful cluster, it includes avoidant, dependent and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders.

Cluster 'C'
People diagnosed with cluster c personality disorders – avoidant, dependent and obsessive-compulsive - share common features with people who have anxiety disorders. It is anxious and fearful personality disorder.

Avoidant personality Disorder
