Personality means enduring qualities of a person in many circumstances. It includes perceptions, attitudes and emotions. These behaviors and characteristics are consistent across a broad range of situations and do not change easily. A person usually is not consciously aware of his/ her personality. Many factors influence personality; some stem from biologic and genetic makeup, whereas some are acquired as a person develops and interacts with the environment and other people. These qualities develop into personality traits(Characters).
PERSONALITY TRAITS:
The most widely used system of personality trait is called Five- Factor Model. This includes, Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism. Each trait is further divided into several trait facets to analyse ones personality clearly. Several theorists still argue that there are more traits which have not been captured by this five-factor model.
Openness people loves adventure, appreciate art, imagination and learn new things throughout their life time. Meanwhile low openness people avoid new experiences, stick to their habits and not adventure lovers.
Conscientiousness people are dependable, disciplined and achievement focused. Meanwhile low conscientiousness people are more spontaneous and careless, when extreme.
Extraversion people/ Extroverts are cheerful, sociable and draw energy from crowds. Meanwhile introverts love to be alone. Commonly people think introversion and shyness are same. They both are different. Shyness people has fear of social interaction meanwhile introverts are cheerful but they prefer solo or small group activities.

High Neuroticism people experience lot of negative emotion. Meanwhile low neuroticism people will be emotionally stable.

Persons with histrionic personality disorder are excitable and emotional and behave in a colorful, dramatic, extroverted fashion. Inability to maintain sincere, long-lasting attachments. They are unaware of their true feelings and cannot explain their motivations. With age, the symptoms of histrionic personality disorder will come down. But patients will feel hard to handle it because they lack the energy they had earlier.
Individuals with narcissistic personality disorder have a heightened sense of self-importance, lack of empathy and grandiose feelings of uniqueness. Underneath, however, their self-esteem is fragile and vulnerable to even minor criticism. Narcissistic symptoms diminish after 40 years of age.
Persons with avoidant personality disorder show extreme sensitivity to rejection and may lead socially withdrawn lives. Although shy, they are not asocial and show a great desire for companionship, but they need unusually strong guarantees of uncritical acceptance. We often describe this group as having an inferiority complex. Some marry, have children, and live their lives surrounded only by family members. If their support system fails, however, they are subject to depression, anxiety, and anger.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder | Psychiatric Nursing | Juhin J Juhin J
油
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic and relapsing anxiety disorder that is characterized by persistent obsessive thoughts and/or repetitive compulsive actions that impair daily functioning. The repetitive actions can be mental or physical acts, either of which is perceived by the individual as reducing anxiety. Individuals with OCD might recognize the irrationality of their anxiety-driven patterns, they feel helpless to resist the compulsive urges that serve as dysfunctional coping mechanisms to reduce anxiety. Many patients prefer to keep ritualistic compulsions such as repetitive checking of locks or repeated hand washing a secret because they are ashamed of their illogical behavior.
Definition:
Obsession: Repetitive thoughts, images and doubts which make a person absolutely senseless and irrational. Individual tries to resist but finds unable to do so because that restriction might increase the level of anxiety.
Compulsion: Repetitive actions are performed followed by obsession in order to avoid the marked distress even though the client knows that behavior is unrealistic, senseless and irrational.
Etiology/ Predisposing factors:
I. Biological Theories:
a) Neurotransmitters:
Studies have suggested that changes in brain serotonin(5-HT) function may contribute to anxiety symptoms and anxiety type behaviors. Among anxiety disorders, the most compelling evidence implicating 5-HT exists for OCD.
OCD patients were found to have higher plasma free 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-phenylglycol and plasma norepinephrine levels. The maximum number of binding sites (Bmax) for tritiated clonidine was significantly greater in OCD patients than in normal people. There was a blunted growth hormone, cortisol and ACTH response to clonidine in OCD.
b) Genetics:
Family studies: 35% of first-degree relatives of OCD clients might suffer from this disorder.
Twin studies: Monozygotic twins are more prone to it as compared to dizygotic twins.
c) Electrophysiological Studies:
Electroencephalography: Many of the earlier reports suggested EEG abnormalities in OCD. Temporal lobe spikes and increased theta waves have been reported in sleep EEG or OCD subjects.
Evoked Potentials: Higher N60 amplitudes were found in somatosensory evoked patients in OCD. Obsessional patients are characterized by reduced amplitudes and decreased latencies of late EP component.
d) Brain Imaging:
Cranial CT and MRI scans: An increase in ventricular-brain ratio was found in cranial CT in OCD. Subsequent studies have shown similar results in caudate nuclei. Earlier reports found non-specific abnormalities on Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brains in OCD.
Management:
