Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Personality disorders are generally considered chronic because they are enduring patterns of behavior and inner experience that deviate markedly from the expectations of the individual's culture, are pervasive and inflexible, have an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, are stable over time, and lead to distress or impairment. Depression and schizophrenia can have episodic courses, with periods of remission, whereas personality disorders are more consistent and long-lasting.
