6.9 MY CHILD HAS A STRONG AND DIFFICULT PERSONALITY. SHOULD I BE WORRIED?

Although a young person’s personality is not quite completely shaped in early adolescence, a trained psychiatrist or mental health professional might be able to detect some flaws or difficulties in his personality that could potentially cause unnecessary stress to themselves and their families. Hence the psychiatrist would be more inclined to use the term “personality traits” as opposed to attributing it as a disorder. Nevertheless, one should monitor the progression of the personality traits and seek professional help early if a clear pattern ensues.

One of the most challenging personality disorders to treat is manifested by Borderline Personality Disorder. Borderline Personality Disorder is widely seen in impulsive and risk-taking young individuals. People with this disorder might have multiple failed relationships or come from a chaotic and abusive family background. They tend to have problems with self-identity, regulating their emotions and maintaining stable relationships. This often leads to multiple break-ups and frustration. Being impulsive and intolerant of stress also increases the likelihood of self-harm behaviours and suicide risks.
