Following are different types of personality disorders developed in people showing emotional and impulsive
              behaviour:
                Antisocial personality disorder: It is characterised by a disdain for social rules and duties. They are
                  irritable and aggressive, and they behave rashly. They have a lack of shame and fail to learn from their
                  mistakes. They may lie, steal, abuse, and may develop an addiction to alcohol or narcotics.

                Borderline personality disorder: People with borderline personality disorder lack a sense of self-worth,
                  resulting  in  feelings  of  emptiness  and  anxieties  of  abandonment.  A  pattern  of  emotional  instability,
                  aggressive outbursts, and impulsive behaviour exists. Suicidal ideation and self-harm are widespread in
                  persons with this personality disorder. They may struggle to cope with stressful situations.
                Histrionic  personality disorder: People with  histrionic personality disorder  sometimes try to attract

                  attention by being too theatrical. They are highly sensitive to criticism or rejection and are readily swayed
                  by others.
                 Narcissistic personality  disorder:  Narcissistic  personality  disorder  is characterised  by  the  belief
                  that one is more important than others. They lack empathy for others and prefer to glorify their own
                  accomplishments.

              Group C: Anxious
              This personality condition is characterised by emotions of worry, anxiety, or dread that can interfere with one's
              regular activities. For example, Sneha is a retired teacher who lives with her family. She has a habit of repeatedly
              checking if the windows and doors are locked. Even after confirming several times, she still feels anxious and

              keeps checking them throughout the day. As a result, she avoids spending time with her family and friends,
              isolating herself from social activities.
              Following are different types of personality disorders developed in people showing anxious behaviour:
                Avoidant personality disorder: People with this disorder are socially  incompetent, unappealing,  or
                  lacking, and they are always afraid of being embarrassed, criticised, or rejected. They avoid social situations
                  and frequently suffer emotions of inadequacy, inferiority, or unattractiveness.

                Dependent personality disorder: People with this illness have a lack of self-confidence and a strong
                  need to be looked after. They require a great deal of assistance in making daily decisions and entrust
                  crucial life decisions to the hands of others. They are highly dependent on others for their emotional and
                  physical needs and, as a result, hate being alone.

                Obsessive-compulsive  personality disorder:  People with this illness  are obsessive about  following
                  rules and regulations. They are distinguished by an overbearing desire for orderliness, perfectionism, and
                  attention to detail. They are highly uncomfortable when they are unable to attain perfection. They may
                  even overlook personal connections in order to finish a project.
