Personality Disorder: Rigid patterns of maladaptive behavior that often fall way outside societal norms, that can range from mild to deeply pathological, and resistant to therapy. Personality disorders can be crippling, and deeply toxic to the sufferer, but also to those near to the sufferer. A way of thinking about personality disorders is that they are "hard-wired" into the person, if you will.
