Understanding Personality Disorders
Personality disorders involve enduring patterns of behaviour, cognition, and inner experience that deviate significantly from cultural expectations. These patterns are inflexible and pervasive, causing distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
Types of Personality Disorders

Characterised by intense emotional instability, impulsive behaviours, and difficulties in maintaining relationships.
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD)
Involves a disregard for the rights of others, deceitfulness, impulsivity, and a lack of remorse for harmful actions.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
Marked by grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others.
Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD)
Characterised by social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, and hypersensitivity to negative evaluation.
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD)
Involves preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and control at the expense of flexibility and efficiency.
How We Help
Tailored Treatment Plans for Personality Disorders
At JAAS Psych, we recognise that each personality disorder requires a unique approach. We create tailored treatment plans that address the specific challenges and symptoms of each disorder, ensuring personalised and effective care.
Integrated Therapeutic Strategies
Our approach combines various therapeutic strategies, including DBT, CBT, and supportive therapy, to address the multifaceted nature of personality disorders. This integration ensures a comprehensive treatment plan that meets all aspects of a patient’s needs.
Focus on Long-Term Stability and Growth
We aim to help patients achieve long-term stability and personal growth. Our continuous support and regular follow-ups ensure that patients can manage their symptoms effectively and work towards lasting improvements in their mental health.
Empowerment Through Education
Education is a crucial component of our treatment plans. We empower patients and their families with knowledge about personality disorders, treatment options, and coping strategies, enabling them to make informed decisions about their care.
