Abstract
Symptoms such as personality disorder, adaptation to the environment, functionality problems, and tension-anxiety can be observed. It is a set of physical, intellectual, and mental characteristics defined as thinking, functioning, and behavioral disorders. It is also defined as a mental problem based on the observation of long-term adaptation problems and strict tendencies. A wide range of factors from genetics to environment plays a role in the development of personality disorders. Although personality disorders have been studied extensively in recent years, the main causes and treatments have not been clearly understood, yet. In this review, we discuss symptoms of personality disorders together with biological- environmental causes and treatments.
