This booklet is part of a series on mental health and substance use funded
by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
Personality traits refer to a person’s individual patterns of thinking, feeling,
and behaving. Our personality traits are what make us unique.
Personality traits can become problematic when they cause problems with
relationships, education or employment, substance use and sometimes with the law.
This booklet aims to help you manage difficulties you may be having in these areas.

use are available at
