Personality Disorders Cluster C

This comprehensive overview delves into Cluster C personality disorders, specifically Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD), Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD), and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). Each disorder is characterized by unique features, criteria for diagnosis, and prevalence rates. AvPD involves severe social inhibition and feelings of inadequacy, while DPD is marked by a dependence on caregivers and fear of being alone. OCPD is defined by excessive preoccupation with orderliness and control. Understanding these disorders can lead to better recognition and support.
