Abstract

Despite global consensus regarding the early detection of personality disorder, current approaches to early intervention have failed to deliver for the majority of young people. This only serves to reinforce the enduring effects of personality disorder on functioning, mental and physical health, resulting in a reduction of quality of life and life expectancy. Here, we describe five significant challenges facing prevention and early intervention for personality disorder: identification, access to treatment, research translation, innovation and functional recovery. These challenges highlight the need for early intervention to shift from niche programmes in specialist services for a select few young people to become established in mainstream primary care and specialist youth mental health services.
