Can a personality disorder “get better”?

Personality disorders can be treated, but treatment usually requires a long-term process.

Different approaches, such as therapy, medication and support groups, can be effective in treating personality disorders.

People receiving treatment for personality disorders can develop personally and improve their quality of life. A person’s motivation and a supportive environment play an important role in treatment.

To the extent that our innate temperament and genetic traits allow, aspects of our personality that impair our ability to adapt and negatively affect our quality of life can change through long-term work with a specialist therapist.
