Abstract
Personality disorders (PDs) are one of the most common psychiatric problems worldwide (1). In addition to morbidity and mortality, these disorders can lead to numerous high-risk behaviors such as risky driving, alcohol abuse, substance addiction, delinquency, violence, suicide, and homicide (2). Although the epidemiological data are necessary to provide comprehensive treatment systems and health policies in this area, in Iran, as a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural country, a few epidemiological studies are available for PDs. Several studies have reported the prevalence of PDs among psychiatric outpatients and inpatients at approximately 6 -81% (3, 4) and 8 - 68% (5-8), respectively.
