Frequently Asked Questions

Have more questions? Email us at [email protected] for further queries.

What Is a Personality Disorder Assessment?

It is a structured evaluation combining clinical interviews and validated personality inventories to understand long-term emotional and behavioral patterns, leading to improved self-awareness and clinical insight.

How Is Personality Disorder Different From Mood or Anxiety Disorders?

Personality disorder refers to enduring traits such as rigid thinking, interpersonal sensitivity, and emotional instability. In contrast, mood and anxiety disorders are episodic and focused on current distress. A differential diagnosis ensures you receive appropriate treatment.

Can This Help With Emotional Regulation and Relationships?

Yes. By identifying personality traits, our assessment guides tailored interventions like dialectical behavior therapy and schema therapy to improve emotional skills and restore healthy relationships.

How Long Does It Take?

The evaluation typically spans 2 to 4 hours over one or two sessions, including interviews, testing, scoring, report preparation, and feedback.

Who Conducts the Assessment?

Licensed psychologists or psychiatrists with specialized training in personality assessment and experience in treating personality disorders will interpret your results and guide your treatment.

What Happens After the Personality Disorder Assessment?

You will receive a written report that outlines your personality profile, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and feedback session. We also support referral coordination and monitoring during treatment.
