Abstract:
Introduction:
Personality disorders constitute a heterogeneous group of mental health conditions characterized by enduring patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that deviate markedly from societal norms and result in significant distress or impairment (Baumann et al., 2010). This category includes disorders such as borderline, antisocial, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders, each presenting a distinct set of maladaptive traits.
Objective:
• To examine the extent to which different types of personality disorders are associated with variations in quality of life across physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains.
• To identify and analyze the specific psychosocial factors, including coping mechanisms, self-esteem, social support, and cognitive distortions, that mediate the impact of personality disorders on quality of life.
Method:
The study involved a diverse sample of participants comprising 12 individuals diagnosed with various personality disorders and 15 mental health professionals with expertise in personality disorders and related fields. The participants were recruited from clinical settings, mental health organizations, and support groups in Quetta, Pakistan.

The age distribution of the participants ranged from 26 to 52 years, with a mean age of 37.25 years (SD = 8.02). In terms of educational background, the participants exhibited varied levels of education. Four participants held a Bachelor's degree, four had a Master's degree, three had a High School diploma, one participant had a Doctorate degree, and one had an Associate's degree.
