Immature Personality Disorder (IPD) is an ICD-10 diagnosis characterized by lack of emotional development, low tolerance of stress and anxiety, inability to accept personal responsibility, and reliance on age-inappropriate defense mechanisms. The disorder has been "gaining prominence" in the 21st century. It is listed under "F60.8 Other specific personality disorders". A study in Denmark found that together, these 6 "Other" types constituted 2.4% of all personality disorder diagnoses.While borderline personality disorder is the most common personality disorder among those who commit non-suicidal self-harm, the overall rate of deliberate self-harm is highest among those with immature personality disorder.It has been noted for displaying "an absence of mental disability", and demonstrating "ineffectual responses to social, psychological and physical demands." Mechanics
IPD involves a weakness of the ego, which limits the ability to restrain impulses or properly model anxiety. They fail to integrate the aggressive and libidinal factors at play in other people, and thus are not able to parse their own experiences.It can be caused by a neurobiological immaturity of brain functioning, or through a childhood trauma, or other means.
