That's a good but complicated definition. (Note that it should be ". . . defined as mental DISORDERS . . .")
Shouldn't the last words be: "adaptive development TO THE culture?"
Personality disorders are only one small category of psychological disorders. Which are you trying to define?
Psychological disorders include personality disorders, psychotic disorders, anxiety disorders, somatoform disorders, dissociative disorders, sexual and gender identity disorders and disorders related to substance abuse. Of course — and unfortunately — having one of these disorders does not make you immune to having another at the same time.
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
