What are "Cluster C" personality disorders?

Rhoda Hahn (Psychiatrist) gives expert video advice on: What is a "personality disorder"? and more...

Cluster "C" consists of avoidant personality disorder, dependant personality disorder and obsessive compulsive personality disorder. What these three personalities share is an intense amount of anxiety. These people are incredibly anxious and there's quite a bit of overlap between dependant and avoidant personality disorder. However I'd tell you, obsessive compulsive probably stands more by itself from a clinical stand point in terms of the symptoms. However again, they all share that common anxiety component.
