What characterizes Personality Disorders?

Providing information for trauma-informed decisions
Interfering with clear thinking and decision-making
Longstanding conditions causing functional impairment
Using children as power and control tactics

The correct answer is: Longstanding conditions causing functional impairment

Personality Disorders are characterized by longstanding conditions that cause functional impairment in individuals. This means that individuals with personality disorders exhibit enduring patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience that deviate significantly from the expectations of the individual's culture. These patterns often lead to difficulties in personal, social, and occupational functioning, reflecting impairments in one's ability to navigate daily life in a healthy and adaptive manner. This functional impairment is a key feature that distinguishes Personality Disorders from temporary emotional states or situational stressors.
