Cluster C personality disorders include Obsessive-Compulsive disorder, Avoidant personality disorder, and Dependent personality disorder.
What is a personality disorder? A personality disorder revolves around a long and enduring pattern of interactions and behaviors that fit a specific presentation that repeats itself.
Cluster C is called the anxious, fearful cluster. Obsessive-Compulsive, Avoidant, and Dependent personality disorders share a high level of anxiety.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which time people have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions).
Avoidant personality disorder is a psychiatric condition characterized by a lifelong pattern of extreme social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, and sensitivity to rejection.
Dependent personality disorder is described as a pervasive and excessive need to be taken care of that leads to submissive and clinging behavior as well as fears of separation. This pattern begins by early adulthood and is present in a variety of contexts.
