Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology

Context:

  • Personality disorders are enduring patterns deviating from cultural expectations.
  • Aging can alter the course of personality disorders, with implications for comorbidity and decompensation.
  • Current diagnostic systems (ICD-10, DSM-5) inadequately address personality disorders in the elderly, leading to 'unspecified' diagnoses.

Purpose:

  • To review changes in personality disorders associated with aging.
  • To aid clinicians in identifying personality disorders in older adults.
  • To emphasize the importance of considering personality in geriatric care.

Summary:

  • Personality disorders in the elderly exhibit distinct patterns and comorbidities, often complicating somatic and psychological interventions.
  • The prevalence in older adults is slightly lower than in young adults, but comorbidity is common, increasing risks.
  • A pathological personality can significantly impact the management of both mental and physical health conditions in geriatric patients.

Impact:

  • Improved identification of personality disorders in the elderly can enhance management strategies in mental and somatic health.
  • Integrating personality assessment into geriatric practices, particularly with cognitive disorders, is essential.
  • This review aims to equip clinicians with knowledge to better manage personality pathology in aging populations.
