Session 431: Understanding Personality Disorders

This week we’re diving into a conversation about personality disorders with psychiatrist Dr. Tracey Marks. Dr. Marks breaks down what personality disorders are, how they differ from other mental health conditions, and some of the common misconceptions people have about them. We also talk about how personality disorders can impact relationships, what treatment can look like, and ways to show compassion for yourself or a loved one who may be navigating one.
