Which of the following disorders is characterized by pervasive distrust and suspicion of others?
While depression and anxiety are the most common mental health conditions, there are other types of mental health conditions that are not as common, but still quite prevalent. Among these are personality disorders. According to a 2003 study cited by the National Institute of Mental

However, personality disorders can be tricky to identify and diagnose because many people who have them are not aware of it. This is mainly due to the fact that their way of thinking and behaving seems normal to them. Because of this, it is an unfortunate fact that many people with personality disorders never get the proper help. Oftentimes, the ones that do get help are already in
crisis. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) defines a personality disorder as “a way of thinking, feeling, and behaving that deviates from the expectations of culture, causes distress or problems functioning, and lasts over time”. Additionally, personality disorders are said to affect two or more of the following:
Currently, the DSM-5 recognizes a total of 10 personality disorders that they have divided into “clusters”. There are three clusters, including: Cluster A: characterized by odd, bizarre, or eccentric behaviors
Cluster B: characterized by dramatic or erratic behavior
Cluster C: characterized by anxious or fearful behavior
Despite the different types of personality disorders within each cluster, all the personality
disorders in each cluster tend to blend together in reality. This is mostly due to the fact that these disorders were differentiated by historical observations rather than scientific study. What this means is that someone diagnosed with borderline personality disorder may also show behaviors associated with antisocial, histrionic, and narcissistic personality disorders. Listed below is a brief summary of the ten different types of personality disorders: #1 Paranoid Personality Disorder
