A personality disorder is a mental health condition that involves long-lasting, all-encompassing, disruptive patterns of thinking, behavior, mood and relating to others. These patterns cause a person significant distress and/or impair their ability to function.
GAD is not exclusively associated with an early age of onset. For instance, the lowest prevalence of GAD occurred in the 15- to 24-year age group (Wittchen et al., 1994).
Personality disorder are a group of mental health conditions that are characterized by inflexible and atypical patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving.
Personality disorders are a class of mental disorders characterized by enduring maldaptive patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience, exhibited across many contexts and deviating markedly from those accepted by the individual's culture.
Organic mental disorders are disturbances that may be caused by injury or disease affecting brain tissues as well as by chemical or hormonal abnormalities.

The disorders those characterized by repetitive behavior, are included under this broad chapter in DSM-5. Here we prepared this PPT in which we tried to cover the whole topic in a very comprehensive and concise manner. We hope that this will help you to understand it in an easy way.
your further suggestions will be appreciated.
The term “psychosomatic disorder” is mainly used to mean “a physical disease that is thought to be caused, or made worse, by mental factors.” ... For example, chest pain may be caused by stress and no physical disease can be found.

Overview of the personality disorders, including the DSM5 alternative model, with particular focus on how these disorders impact the disability review process.
Personality means enduring qualities of a person in many circumstances. It includes perceptions, attitudes and emotions. These behaviors and characteristics are consistent across a broad range of situations and do not change easily. A person usually is not consciously aware of his/ her personality. Many factors influence personality; some stem from biologic and genetic makeup, whereas some are acquired as a person develops and interacts with the environment and other people. These qualities develop into personality traits(Characters).
PERSONALITY TRAITS:
The most widely used system of personality trait is called Five- Factor Model. This includes, Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism. Each trait is further divided into several trait facets to analyse one’s personality clearly. Several theorists still argue that there are more traits which have not been captured by this five-factor model.
Openness people loves adventure, appreciate art, imagination and learn new things throughout their life time. Meanwhile low openness people avoid new experiences, stick to their habits and not adventure lovers.
Conscientiousness people are dependable, disciplined and achievement focused. Meanwhile low conscientiousness people are more spontaneous and careless, when extreme.
Extraversion people/ Extroverts are cheerful, sociable and draw energy from crowds. Meanwhile introverts love to be alone. Commonly people think introversion and shyness are same. They both are different. Shyness people has fear of social interaction meanwhile introverts are cheerful but they prefer solo or small group activities.
Agreeableness people are warmth, kind, helpful, compassionate and trust worthy. Meanwhile disagreeable people are cold and suspicious of others.
High Neuroticism people experience lot of negative emotion. Meanwhile low neuroticism people will be emotionally stable.
Personality disorder is defined as, “characteristic and enduring pattern of inner experience (or) behavior as a whole marked deviation for a level of exception and acceptable range of individuals’ culture”. – ICD 10

All of the personality theories focus at least some of their attention on understanding personality and identifying aspects of personality. Most are also. concerned with the application of theory to facilitate personality change probably biological and trait theory being exception which are more concerned with the identification of traits and far less concerned with change. We will focus on specific personality disorders and the 'symptoms' or personality characteristics associated with them. We will discuss the application of the theories that extend beyond understanding and reach into the realm of psychotherapy, or change. These theories include psychoanalytic and psychodynamic, behavioral and social learning theory, humanistic, and cognitive. Together, these four approaches predominate the world of psychotherapy.

T h is C h s p te r b e g i n s with a general definition of personaliiy disorder that applies
to each of the 10 specific personality disorders. A personality disorder is an enduring pattern
of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the in
dividual's culture, is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adult
hood, is stable over time, and leads to distress or impairment.
With any ongoing review process, especially one of this complexity, different view
points emerge, and an effort was made to accommodate them. Thus, personality disorders
are included in both Sections II and III. The material in Section II represents an update of
text associated with the same criteria found in DSM-IV-TR, whereas Section III includes
the proposed research model for personality disorder diagnosis and conceptualization de
veloped by the DSM-5 Personality and Personality Disorders Work Group. As this field
evolves, it is hoped that both versions will serve clinical practice and research initiatives,
respectively.
The following personality disorders are included in this chapter.
• Paranoid personality disorder is a pattern of distrust and suspiciousness such that oth
ers' motives are interpreted as malevolent.
• Schizoid personality disorder is a pattern of detachment from social relationships and
a restricted range of emotional expression.
• Schizotypal personality disorder is a pattern of acute discomfort in close relationships,
cognitive or perceptual distortions, and eccentricities of behavior.
• Antisocial personality disorder is a pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights
of others.
• Borderline personality disorder is a pattern of instability in interpersonal relation
ships, self-image, and affects, and marked impulsivity.
• Histrionic personality disorder is a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention
seeking.
• Narcissistic personality disorder is a pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and
lack of empathy.
• Avoidant personality disorder is a pattern of social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy,
and hypersensitivity to negative evaluation.
• Dependent personality disorder is a pattern of submissive and clinging behavior re
lated to an excessive need to be taken care of.
• Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is a pattern of preoccupation with order
liness, perfectionism, and control.
• Personality change due to another medical condition is a persistent personality dis
turbance that is judged to be due to the direct physiological effects of a medical condi
tion (e.g., frontal lobe lesion).
• Other specified personality disorder and unspecified personality disorder is a cate
gory provided for two situations: 1) the individual's personality pattern meets the gen
eral criteria for a personality disorder, and traits of several different personality

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Clinically
significant conditions and behavior patterns

the Past…
Schneider’s Psychopathic Personalities(1950)
Abnormal personalities who either suffer personally
because of their own abnormality or make the community
suffer because of it. Various subtypes described were
of little clinical value. Inborn characteristics believed to
be the sole source of personality, no role of external
factors
Peter Tyrer and Nottingham group(1988)
Classified personality disorders into mature and
immature types. Mature type are evident in adolescence
and don’t change with age. Immature type change and
have late onset
