What to do if you have a personality disorder? How to treat personality disorders

The so-called personality disorder is a kind of mental illness. The treatment methods we can adopt for this disease include sublimation method, friendship training method, hostility correction training method, interest cultivation method, and when necessary, drug therapy can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Sublimation method

Patients with hysterical personality have certain talents in artistic performance. It is possible to "take advantage of the situation" and transfer their interest to performing arts. In this way, the patient's original stagnant energy will be sublimated in the performance.

In fact, many artistic performances have a certain amount of exaggeration. In order to immerse the audience in the plot, the actors must impress them with their expressions and language. Therefore, for people with hysterical personality, engaging in performing arts is a very effective way to improve themselves.

Friendship Training

When making friends, you must be sincere and open-hearted. Try to actively provide all kinds of help to your close friends during interactions. Pay special attention to the "psychological compatibility principle" between friends.

Hostility Correction Training

Always remind yourself not to fall into the vortex of "hostility"; understand the basic truth that only by respecting others can you get the respect of others; learn to smile to everyone you know; learn to be tolerant and patient in life.

Interest cultivation method

Interest refers to the cognitive tendency to actively explore things and give priority attention, and has a good emotion of yearning. Therefore, interest cultivation helps to overcome a personality with lack of interests and indifference.

Drug treatment

Although medication cannot improve personality structure, it is not useless as a symptomatic treatment to improve certain symptoms.

Benzodiazepine anxiolytics can be used for patients with obvious anxiety symptoms. Antiepileptic drugs can be used for patients with fulminant personality disorder accompanied by EEG changes. Lithium carbonate is effective for patients with impulsive or aggressive behavior.
