what types of treatments are available for personality disorders
The treatment that's best for you depends on your particular personality disorder, its severity and your life situation. Often, a team approach is appropriate to make sure all of your psychiatric, medical and social needs are met. [ Because personality disorders tend to be chronic and can sometimes last much of your adult life, you may need long-term treatment.

Family doctor or primary care provider

Pharmacist
Family members
Social workers
If you have mild symptoms that are well controlled, you may need treatment
from only your family doctor, a psychiatrist or a therapist. If possible, find medical and mental health providers with experience in treating personality disorders.
