Get StartedPrevention
By Mayo Clinic staffThere's no sure way to prevent personality disorders. Trying to identify those most at risk, such as children living with neglect or abuse, and offering early intervention may help. Taking steps to control your stress, increase your resilience and boost low self-esteem also may offer benefits. Getting appropriate treatment early, and sticking with it for the long term, may prevent symptoms from worsening.
