There is a strong correlation between personality disorders and other morbidities, such as drug misuse, suicidal tendencies, and impulse control difficulties (Kearney & Trull, 2016). Cluster B personality disorders can be described as having dramatic and unpredictable emotional symptoms. Histrionic personality disorder patients exhibit an overexpressed emotion, including ferocious embraces or uncontrollable laughing at happy moments. Their charismatic, dramatic and extrovert style makes them the center of attention. However, others may be offended if they don’t pay enough attention to them. This inclination makes their relationships unstable and difficult.
Psychoanalysis defines narcissists to be clients with a high sense of self-importance or exaggerated self-worth. They lack empathy and are concerned with attention-seeking and self-admiration (Kearney & Trull, 2016). They tend to underestimate others’ strengths, and they overestimate their own. When they don’t receive the needed validation, they react quickly.
Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a constant propensity to disrespect and violate social norms and the rights of others, and to substitute such ideal characteristics with dishonesty, aggressive, and antisocial actions (Kearney & Trull, 2016). Although they have normal intelligence and feel no need for conscience or feelings, they are not able to express their thoughts clearly. Because they think they can ignore the law, and are constantly in conflict with authorities,

Persona disorders are influenced by nature as well as natural phenomena. As a hypothetical explanation, personality disorders that are severe can be attributed to genetics. If a parent does not foster an empathic personality in their child throughout their childhood, narcissistic disorders are often strongly linked to distorted parenting.
Physicians can use checklists and self-reports to help them make a diagnosis. However, they have to be sensitive and reliable. There is not an accepted standard to evaluate personality disorders severity. The reliability of structured interviews is higher than that of self-report surveys.
Management is about ensuring that the recipient absorbs the maximum amount of treatment’s effectiveness, regardless of any obstacles. The most difficult therapeutic group for Cluster B personality disorders is still to come. These people are highly manipulative and emotional unstable. They may be more inclined to make close professional connections that could expose them to dangerous situations. The severity and degree of the illness can be determined by a thorough medical history, physical examination and behavioral evaluation. Antipsychotic and anticonvulsant medications are effective in reducing BPD symptoms (Kearney & Trull, 2016). Some anticonvulsants, such as lithium, may help to suppress violent or impulsive symptoms of antisocial personality disorders.
