Understanding Common Personality Disorders The Neurological Basis of OCD, NPD, and BPD

Abstract

Historically, the complexity of personality disorders has posed challenges to both diagnosis and treatment; however, with advances in technology, various studies have begun making new developments to elucidate the neurobiological causes of many of the most common personality disorders, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), and borderline personality disorder (BPD). By understanding the neurobiological causes of these disorders, further therapeutic and pharmaceutical treatment options can be developed, and information about these disorders can become widespread.
