Psychiatrists tend to use a system of diagnosis which identifies 10 types of personality disorder:
Paranoid personality disorder
Schizoid personality disorder
Schizotypal personality disorder
Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD)
Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
Histrionic personality disorder
Narcissistic personality disorder
Avoidant (or anxious) personality disorder
Dependent personality disorder
Obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCDP)
The types are grouped into three categories:
Suspicious – paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal and antisocial.
Emotional and impulsive – borderline, histrionic and narcissistic.
Anxious – avoidant, dependent and obsessive compulsive.
For each type, a diagnosis will not be made if you have only one or two of the characteristics.
You may find that you meet the criteria for several different types of personality disorder. It can also
be the case that a wide range of people meet the criteria for the same disorder, despite having very
different personalities and different individual experiences.
