According to the DSM, the following features differentiate personality disorders from other mental disorders. Personality disorders are stable, ego-syntonic, and they begin to develop early in life. Even though these patterns of problematic behavior are believed to develop during childhood or adolescence, individuals should not be diagnosed with a personality disorder prior to age 18 years. What are the major categories of personality disorders? Explain why the DSM emphasizes the point that these disorders are ego-syntonic. How does this characteristic differ from other mental disorders described in the DSM?
