10 Symptoms of Personality Disorder

5. Altered Productivity Levels

Productivity levels also get altered with changes in one's mood, disposition, and behavior. In most cases, productivity decreases since most symptoms lead to a lack of concentration and a highly distracted state of mind. Enhanced impulsivity may further hamper productivity levels. In a few cases, however, restlessness and excess energy may provoke excessive workouts, thereby increasing productivity. The excess energy may also be an episode of mania. Depression typically follows mania and can be witnessed as violent mood swings.
