Consequences of Personality Disorders People with a personality disorder are at high risk of behaviors that can lead to physical illness (such as alcohol or drug addiction); self-destructive behavior, reckless sexual behavior, hypochondriasis, and clashes with society's values. They may develop a mental health disorder; the type (for example, anxiety, depression, or psychosis) depends in part on the type of personality disorder. They are less likely to follow prescribed treatment; even when they follow the regimen, they are usually less responsive to drugs than most people are. They often have a poor relationship with professionals because they refuse to take responsibility for their behavior or they feel overly distrustful, deserving, or needy. The professional may then start to blame, distrust, and ultimately reject the person. 9.
