AVOIDANT PERSONALITY DISORDER

Avoidant personality disorder describes a pervasive pattern of social anxiety, extreme sensitivity to rejection, and feelings of inadequacy, but with a strong underlying desire for companionship. The signs of avoidant personality disorder must be persistent and cause significant impairment in social, occupational and other important areas of functioning.
Features of avoidant personality disorder include:
1. Avoidance of social, interpersonal, and occupational activities that involve frequent contact with others due to an underlying fear of criticism, disapproval, or rejection.
2. Unwillingness to become involved with new relationships unless there is a certainty of being liked by others.
3. Restraint in intimate relationships due to a fear of being ridiculed or shamed.
4. Preoccupation with criticism and rejection.
5. Inhibition in new interpersonal situations due to feelings of inadequacy.
6. Low self-confidence with the belief that the individual is inherently inferior or unappealing to others.
7. Reluctance to take personal risks or engage in activities that can result in embarrassment or perceived failure.
In psychotherapy, CBT is considered the optimal treatment approach for avoidant personality disorder and aims to address maladaptive thinking patterns, enhance self-esteem, improve social skills, and challenge avoidance behaviors. Medications can be used to reduce anxiety which could be present in the disorder. Treating comorbid conditions such as anxiety and depression with medication reduces suffering in patients with avoidant personality disorder.
At Dr. Parmod Clinic, we help individuals to not only recognize symptoms of Avoidant Personality Disorder but also to manage such symptoms with medications and counselling for better functioning across all aspects of their lives.

DEPENDENT PERSONALITY DISORDER

Throughout life span, individuals exhibit varying levels of dependence on others which are considered to be socially acceptable. For example, infants are totally dependent on their parents for survival, whereas adolescents or teenagers have increased levels of autonomy. Adults are usually expected to be completely self-reliant unless there is any form of physical or psychological impairment which interferes with their ability to do so. When an individual is not experiencing any form of impairment and lacks the ability to act independently without excessive amount of help from others, a diagnosis of Dependent Personality Disorder may be given.
Symptoms of Dependent Personality Disorder:
1. Difficulty making routine decisions without input, reassurance, and advice from others.
2. Requires others to assume responsibilities which they should be attending to.
3. Fear of disagreeing with others and risking disapproval.
4. Difficulty starting projects without support from others.
5. Excessive need to obtain nurturance and support from others, even allowing other to impose themselves rather than risk rejection or disapproval.
6. Feels vulnerable and helpless when alone.
7. Desperately seeks another relationship when one ends.
8. Unrealistic preoccupation with being left alone and unable to care for themselves.
As an adult, there are societal expectations for independence, decisiveness, confidence, and self-reliance. An individual who does not meet these expectations will have difficulty functioning in occupational, academic, and interpersonal settings.
At Dr. Parmod Clinic, we help individuals to not only recognize symptoms of Dependent Personality Disorder but also to manage such symptoms with medications and counselling for better functioning across all aspects of their lives.

EMOTION REGULATION

Emotions are a central part of the human experience and they shape our decisions as well as our physical and mental well-being. Emotion regulation is our ability to control our experience emotions and manage how they are expressed. Being able to recognize one’s emotions and being able to adjust their intensity are aspects of emotion regulation. Recognizing emotions can be difficult for some people if they have been experiencing chronic stress or experienced trauma.
Tips for building healthy emotion regulation:
• Reframe negative thoughts – identify if you are catastrophising the situation – doing so can make you feel very anxious. Learning to identify negative pattern of thinking can help with emotion regulation.
• It is important to remember that not everything is in our control. Practice acceptance for such situations and be mindful of your emotions so that you can regulate them better.
• Take time off when you need to process your emotions and respond to the situation rather than giving a knee-jerk reaction to it.
• Communicate your emotions assertively so that they are expressed appropriately.
Several factors including genes, childhood experiences, mental health conditions and environmental factors can influence an individual’s ability to regulate their emotions.
At Dr. Parmod Clinic, we help individuals to build a healthy lifestyle by teaching emotion regulation skills and treating mood disorders for better functioning across all aspects of their lives.
