What is Histrionic Personality Disorder?

- This video describes Histrionic Personality Disorder. Personality Disorders are thought to be chronic and long lasting, however, treatments are available. Histrionic Personality Disorder is characterized by a number of potential symptoms including wanting to be the center of attention, sexually seductive behavior, rapidly shifting and shallow emotions, an effort to gain attention through physical appearance, impressionistic speech pattern, self-dramatizing, exaggerated emotional expressions, theatrical, easily influenced, and believe relationships are more intimate than they really are. Individuals with Histrionic Personality Disorder tend to struggle with relationships and sometimes seek treatment from depressive symptoms from losing relationships. Histrionic Personality Disorder appears to occur more in women than in men. Histrionic Personality Disorder is highly comorbid with Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Dependent Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, and depressive disorders, somatic symptom disorder, and conversion disorder.
I had a friend who had a pretty severe form of this disorder. She was highly flirtatious and overtly sexual towards men in academic settings. She turned people away so easily because of her excessive emotionality. Everything was overly dramatized and even basic tasks were exaggerated for attention. She was uncomfortable when not the center of attention, despite her attention largely being negative, due to others viewing her as pretty off-color and emotionally volatile. She also had no filter and would anything that came to her mind to get attention. She believed that she had a right to say anything and everything she thought because she was so intelligent and articulate, when really she was just extremely artsy and pretentious. She was always writing very pedantic short stories and articles and was convinced that peppering them with words containing 7 syllables and verbose imagery words made her the next great American novelist. I eventually had to break things off with her when I became more her therapist and less her friend. She had experienced trauma early into life when she lost her mother to cancer, an event that I believe shaped the trajectory of her life long after the initial incident. I had stayed with her knowing that no one else would give her a chance and that she was a high risk case of depression, but it grew to be too much. She was all take and no give. This friend also played the manipulative card of, “Everyone leaves me and I don’t know why. But you won’t leave me, right?” She likely had dependent personality disorder as well, and she absolutely had depression and an anxiety disorder. I have nothing against her but she was weighing me down socially (she alienated everyone) and personally (I only had so many hours in a day to solve her problems for her), and the friendship became too parasitic over time. I wonder where she is now.

My mom has been diagnosed as having; histrionic personality disorder with comorbid narcissistic personality disorder. I am diagnosed with ptsd, aspergers , I'v been watching your videos ways to improve our communication. Thank you for your detailed and accurate videos!
Man. My soon to be ex would be the centerfold in a ‘Histrionic Today’ magazine. She is attractive, and needs constant, constant CONSTANT affirmations of this. Her importance in this world needs to be told! (don’t worry, she’ll tell it)
Far too much pda.
See, in public, I felt safe. She would hide the histrionic side of her. Alone though, Goddam. It was not constant, but the verbal abuse was often bizarre yet erratic. I never knew what was gonna happen at any given time. I know she has a learning disability she won’t address, and a poor upbringing as well. We were married for several years until I found out she received her GED at 25. There is nothing wrong with that as she became a nurse.
I also figured out she was involuntarily locked up during her teens. She, nor her family, will admit to this.
Man, I wanted to help but couldn’t. She kept a great house, cooked for me, did lots of nice things. But she will not help herself.
I wanted less of those nice things so we could address the real problem
Not to be.
‘Look at me and my goodness’ is her drug of choice.
My brains were battered, it’s been a year, and I still ain’t right. She, we, were toxic.
I guess I just ranted.
Thank you for the information, Dr. Grande. My 17-year-old was just diagnosed with HPD and I'd been having a hard time understanding what it was. You helped clear some of that cloud of confusion for me.
You're a great mother, this made me happy reading this comment
Is it possible that people with HPD grow out of it as they grow older? It sounds awfully like my mother when she was younger. She felt a woman was nothing unless she was sexy and glamorous and her only value as a woman was as a sex object. She used ti tell us she had no women friends because they were all jealous of her looks and figure but really she made no attempt to have friends. She preferred men.......she was unfaithful to our stepfather, husband number 3, numerous times. He knew but had his own secrets.......Bur over time we saw her change and become more introspective, calmer, less emotionality. She got her dream home and focused on that and it's acres of gardens. She was an expert designer/decorator and we told her she should have made a career out of it. Every inch of her home was a work of art, as were the clothes she designed and made for herself - no more the overtly sexual clothing she had once worn but more elegant and toned down. She began to make women friends and had one who became her close confidant. She became more confident and sure of herself and was happy at home reading a book than gallivanting around showing off. We all noticed the change over the years. Sadly she was just coming into her own and had her perfect life and home when she died of cancer at age 57........
I have met a few people with histrionic personality disorder. Major drama queens.
The friend part. I grew up where if you meet someone is your friend where in USA they smile at you and act as friend during school or work but soon you leave from the work or school they act they never seen you before. As a foreigner it took me a while to figure out
Good observation. I'm sorry you have to experience this.
This is one reason why our birth rates in North America are declining. People are selfish and shallow here. You have to be hurt by them many times before you believe it.
It's very depressing.
There is no honor or integrity among these people. They are garbage. They only care about pleasure and money.
In Italian we call it, *"Faccia due",* or *"Two-faced".*
My Nonna, or Grandmother, who died many years ago used to warn me of these people. I did not understand.
I do now.
This is very interesting. My parents were immigrants from Canada, and their parents were immigrants from Eastern Europe. I have always seen people who have lived here for generations as people who have gotten away from tradition and family. Now it seems to be in total breakdown. Thise people who your Nonna was talking about were people who had become materialistic. It is still becoming more superficial with each generation today as the religion and culture is being squeezed out.
abdulwaduud ahmed That really depends on where you are and what kind of "friends" you make. Not everyone is superficial and to make a real friend takes time and emotional investment. These things can't be faked or made overnight. Just because you share some school time or work time with people doesn't mean the emotional investment was made to become a real friend. Those people you went to school with or worked with were acquaintances, not friends. A real friend won't act like that.
Only 2% of the population you say? I know at least 2 of them.
Thank you for making these videos! Listening to your voice and learning about all these things is becoming a new coping mechanism for me. You’re very scientific and soothing simultaneously :)
Thank you for those kind words -
Yes absolutely! Dr. GRANDE IS very scientific and very soothing simultaneously.
I have cared for a young lady, in my home, for 4.5 yrs now that appears to have this along with dependency issues. However, she is also moderately ID so getting her treatment has been a struggle. She seems to have an undercurrent of tension if she is not the center of attention. It’s exhausting and takes away from my own children so she is moving out in two days. I feel terrible that I couldn’t help her but it has become a detriment to my own family.
Excellent description. I was trying to explain this to my mom (we both know someone who has it) and she didn’t get how the symptoms differed from bipolar disorder or narcissistic personality disorder. This helped clear things up!
Excellent! You are one of the few professionals I truly admire and find reliable on the net. Thank you very much for your insightful, well-explained and efficient videos. They are of immense help to many people, I'm certain of it. I am a Brazilian psychologist and I own a blog about Asperger's syndrome (in Portuguese). I'm always searching for valuable information on psychiatry and neuroscience. I've subscribed to your channel.
You are too kind - thank you so much!
I've seen a physician decide that if there is family history of migraines generation to generation then all the sufferers (never met, many deceased 50 +years passed) are histrionic personality disordered. As the nurse standing there I had to hold my mouth closed cuz it was hanging open. Poor patient in front of him was in pain confused and left shaking her head.
I am Not one! Close though … I'm dramatic, co-dependant, in recovery … Thank you Dr.
Really appreciate this information. Better than much I viewed on CZcams attempting to describe the HPD. THanks.
You are quite welcome!
Very insightful, thank you. Especially the histrionics personality disorder explanation. I'm amazed at how many disorders there are
I don't understand how I was diagnosed with this. I dress in whatever is comfortable (a lot of hoodies). I am the least seductive person ever. My friends describe me as soft and gentle ( Like a teddy bear). I like attention but I am not desperate for it in the least. I need to talk to my doctor.
Perhaps get a second opinion?
My close relative is exactly like this mixed with a bit of narcissism except from being seductive. She can at times be very hard to live with
Thank you for allowing me to put things into perspective for the few times that I met my biological mother when she was still alive.
I'm sure you're a good counselor - you're thorough in detecting things that can be overlooked. It's like getting the right focus and lighting to present something truly the way it is.
Excellent video, very informative and insightful, thanks!
My x husband is diagnosed , npd , aspd as well as hpd . He was diagnosed using the mmpi1 and mmpi2 as well a two hour interview . Long story short I got feed up with the very childlike behaviors and convinced him to get evaluated. Once results where revealed I left . 🤨. These type of people are down right impossible to be in relationship with . I had to save myself .
If that profile pic is yours then i feel bad for you having to venture back into the smp with that saggy neck
evil much?
Histrionic personnality is what we called "hysteric" personnality in the past.
I wish you would still do videos like this Dr. G!
This was a good description of symptoms and the characteristics that differentiate Histrionic Personality Disorder from other personality disorders. I know someone who definitely has most of the characteristics of HPD but did have difficulty in a number of work situations because of her need for attention, overly dramatic, exaggerated emotional expression, and desire to be considered “special.” Unfortunately, she chose a career that calls for control of emotionality, attention to detail, and ability or willingness to use critical thinking.
But is it possible such work can help develop some of the above mentioned skills? Attention to detail, critical thinking and so on. I mean certain jobs can influence a personality in a positive or negative way.
NPD & ASPD is what others, but personally BPD, is exactly what I continue to confuse my father with. But he has got to be histrionic. I can’t help but believe he has high functioning alexithymia, because his continuous poor insight into his own hysteria is just mind blowing. This is (& his excessive ridiculous attire & display of exaggerated emotion) that has me refuse to believe he has pronounced ASPD. He does however, have a pronounced disregard for authority, but never enough to get in serious trouble. He can’t be alone, yet he can’t form close relationships, because of his extremely poor insight into others & own emotions. It’s a constant struggle for him, always being at war with the world that doesn’t understand him.
Cluster b is cluster b just treat them as a narcissist which they all are by default but with different flavours
Wow you are kind to know all that. Most ppl would just run.
There is certainly a lot of overlap between cluster B disorders, and thanks for confirming this impression; however, it appears to me the overlap between histrionic and borderline is particularly strong. How often, relatively, would people present with both, compared to exclusively with one or the other? Thanks as usual for your scientific based approach to discussing these issues.
I knew someone like this and oh did I ever run 😙
The verbal style of histrionics was very interesting. I’ve always noticed ppl have diff convo styles with something I couldn’t put my finger on to tie together about them. I wonder if you could do a video about the diff. personality disorders speech styles
Very informing Dr. Grande, I didn’t realize how much similarities are common in some personalities.
Well, same cluster ..
Well they are saying Amber heard may have this now… came here to find out what it is
I read in a forum that histrionics are the female narcissists... after my ex-narc I'm inclined to agree, lol. It seems that the base is narcissistic personality disorder, but I also saw a lot of histrionic pd in her actions as well: inappropriate dress at her work place when she was off duty, sexually seductive behavior, gaining attention through physical appearance (had it in spades, lol), self-dramatizing... and quite often trying to show "strength" with social media posts. This last (to me) was something easily seen through when I found out what she is (NPD, imo), because with me she was the vulnerable victim... but to the public at large she was the victim of a "controlling" husband (or as I later found out he was cheating on her, but then again I was also told she let it be known they were swingers... who to believe?), and she wanted to be seen as strong and independent. (Except I found out later she was hitting on every dude and his brother... for instance my brother, months before, while still married; not to mention stories of sexcapades, all of which I found out after I broke off our friendship. :P ) Bottom line: I can definitely see histrionic and narcissistic pd easily being comorbid and misdiagnosed.
What a great explanation!!!!!
You're welcome!
I know a young man who aligns to this disorder perfectly. It seems like the reason for them being easily convinced and only having a cursory knowledge of lots of subjects is one in the same thing. They’re very comfortable with barging in on a subject, gathering what seems to be the cliff notes then turning around and pretending to be a qualified teacher of that subject. If is sounds good then they jump on the band wagon without hesitation. The motive is all the same however. Being the center of attention and impressing others. It tends to work on most people they encounter because of the level of enthusiasm and confidence they project but if they run into someone who legitimately knows the subject it’s a dead give away that they know virtually nothing. Eventually it leads to being known as a buffoon if enough people catch on. A very sad thing to see for sure because as annoying as it is these type of people don’t seem to be evil, they are more like a little kid wanting attention and adoration. Also, with that constant bragging, exaggerating, bluffing comes developing the ability to lie extremely well. After time that constant lying can confuse themselves about what reality actually is. They have a hard time remembering what was made up and what wasn’t. I’ll stop here but that’s just my observations.
My sister has this. She lacks self awareness
Described my oldest sister to a "T". Attention seeking, manilulative, narcissistic, self centred, selfish. She got all of her self esteem from men. She probably comorbid with NPD. Every things was dramatised, her lies, aggression, inappropriate seductive behaviour, wore xlothes that was suitable for pornography, the lidt goes on.
I have a childhood friend, now adult, who appears to have HPD. I still want to keep the odd contact with her given our past but how do I calm her down if we meet in public places? She is loud, shallow, gives weird hugs when I am quiet and needs the entire restaurant looking at her. It is exhausting, embarrassing and ultimately boring. If only she could just 'cool it' for the hours I am with her. Is there a way to control someone with HPD if it be for a few hours. Is there a way to make them behave more authentically?
Female stalkers are often histrionics.
Thank you!
Nailed it again! Thanks for yr sharing of knowledge!!♡*
I believe my mother who passed in 2009 was histrionic. A very poor role model for her 2 daughters.
Cynthia Ray 😞 so was my mum.
Here’s what I find helpful out of this really well stated video: Even though a person’s financial needs (example) are met they can act out affective(?) extreme desperation. If their behaviors are also malignant narcissism then they may use criticism to get more of what they already have. Or they might use impulsivity to get more of what they already have. But they want to appear sympathetic so they use crying, dressing overly sexy or cute behaviors to to get them more of what they have. It seems sort of like a rock band personality to me. Always yelling out pathos and getting paid.
I have an acquaintance who fits this description to a T. Of course, I'm not diagnosing anybody...
Very interesting.
Dr Todd do you have any books out for therapist? I am currently studying for my LCSW, but also want to find some books for different styles/theories of therapy, and other mental health.
thank you for your videos
im also trying to find more videos about atlas personality
9:00 Vulnerable Narcissist would desire and encourage that same victim, one down type of attention as a win..
I work with someone like this - we share an office. It is really difficult to be in the same space with them. Any tips? This person thinks we are BFF's and it's just not true.
So basically every participant in the "too hot to handle" reality. Of course, I am not diagnosing anyone.....
My daughter was diagnosed with histrionic personality disorder at 14 I got a second opinion and they had the same conclusion. But I never really understood it so I very much thank you for doing this video because now I do. They also said Psychopathic tendencies I don't know what that means.
How do you feel about the idea that this disorder is somewhat based in sexism and many diagnosed with this have actually been abused?
Langen Neubacher they have almost always been abused and no, not really based in sexism. Traits that are traditionally seen as more or less ‘feminine,’ have nothing to do with any sexist agenda. You could just as easily relate antisocial personality disorder symptoms and stigmatize unhealthy male behavior. So cut the sexism BS and stop being so intellectually irresponsible
Speaking only from my experience with social media personalities, I would affirm both sexism and a history of abuse. At least from my own online experience, young women with HPD play up to male sexism online and also report a history of abuse online.
Could there be a negative/alternate version of Histrionic like other cluster B that reverse attention seeking or redirect it (including hypersexuality)?
Could that be avoidant pd maybe?
Can this not have the seductive side of it and still be histrionic disorder?
I have 4 personality disorders!! Borderline, anti social, histrionic and avoidant personality disorder. This is really bad..
I forgot that I had a psychiatrist who said he was diagnosed as NPD and HPD, he was being sued. He bartered, took peoples paintings for payment. He was eccentric, creative and seemed nice. He said " the theatrics if the histrionic" regarding himself. He liked his disorder. Found out later some liked him as a professor while others couldn't stand him as a psychiatrist. I liked him as a person, he seemed personable and nice. Yes he was dramatic but it was a part of his eccentricity. Usually psychiatrists don't devulge that they have npd, hpd but he liked his disorders. He got into trouble later on because he gave opiods to street people. Sorry crummy spelling and lenthyy because I have intellectual disability. Anyways he lost his license. I felt bad for him. :(
Dr. Grande- serious question- do you think CZcamsr Onision fits within the criterion of Histronic Personality Disorder? I am not sure if you are familiar with his run on the CZcams community, but it is heavily documented and criticized his personality and behaviours.
What percentage of the population is estimated to suffer from HPD and what is the men to women ratio? I guess I can try to see if I can look it up or if there is data. I can't seem to think I know anyone with this presentation. Although, it seems some people who have been sexually abused seem to dress provocatively and a person whom I thought had a great deal of narcissism would dress, not only provocative (she had been molested as a child) but also very flamboyant and always tried to get attention and did look to be the center of attention but could there be co-morbidity with narcissism? OK. I need to watch the video before I ask; you also addressed co-morbidity.
What is impressionist speech?
Seems as if HPD traits overlapses NPD traits?
To some extent. The main difference is npd seeks admiration and praise, whereas hpd seeks any kind of attention at all. Plus npd has symptoms like manipulation and lacking empathy that hpd doesn't necessarily have, but can in some cases.
This video is being rewatched thanks to Amber Heard
I just wonder why they don't want to actually improve themselves, instead of living in a destructive fantasy?
Maybe because the alternative is just too scary
No its because they cant control themselves
M H
For most of us the behaviour would be ego dystonic but for histrionics it is ego syntonic. In other words it works for them.
M H We cant change. i have histrionic personality disorder and only recently found out about it.. how are we supposed to fixed ourselves with no known cure? I’ve tried everything and still end up the same. i wish i could change.
because, unfortunately, that is not how disorders work
How do you think, Dr. Grande, would your personality profile have to be different, for you to never have been interested in making a CZcams channel?
Ugh. I’m diagnoses with this. I don’t use it as an excuse for myself, just an explanation. But also, I don’t tell anyone irl. They just think I’m dramatic to a fault. Which I am, I guess, clinically.
Michael Scott aligns most closely with this diagnosis....but, he is still Dunder Mifflin's best Salesperson...and of course: the World's Best Boss 😊
The thumbnail got me excited because I liked the moustache.
Can someone used to be histrionic and then heal and don't have any more the desorder at later age? I believe I was histrionic and after a life-changing event I'm completely different and I heal.. I'm like totally another person and I'm very selfconscious.
I guess Madonna has it. You're describing her
I would guess many celebrities have it.
I have HPD I believe. Or I have been mimicking it
Can someone with borderline personality disorder/narcissistic personality disorder attract or be influenced by someone with histrionic personality disorder (or vice-versa)?
You mentioned Conversion Disorder, what is that?
How about testosteronic personality disorder? I thought that up myself! So clever! 😊
I wonder what causes extreme need for attention.
Neglect of attention early into life as well as lack of positive self-regard could both play a role.
So Michael Scott?
I believe that if histrionic disorder exists then men get that disorder just as often as women do.The only difference is how it gets expressed. Men are more apt to desire in trying to cover up their obsession with getting attention from others while seeking as many opportunities for sexual activites as they can and then focusing on those around them who look to be easiest to control in order to get it and by doing so through lies about the reasoning for their behavior and thorugh lies about their targets it gets covered up. Characteristic about their interactions with targets is that no in spite of any evidence at the time that their target doesn't want any kind of romantic encounter instead of giving more space to their target the behavior towards the target instead increases only for the purpose of drawing attention to themselves instead of wanting to help progress in whatever field of study. A man who is histrionic with a history of doing anything including walking long distances on a regular basis just to get attention and then later seeking attention from other men too like for example going to a male public health nurse office appointment counselling sessions so they can there too go on and on about their vulnerable 'compassionate' hero narcissistic sob stories filled with lies to them being told over and over again to that kind of professional too would for sure be evidence of histrionic personality disorder that most of the time will be projected onto their partner as a characteristic instead. Perhaps women in contrast with histrionic disorder will for example abuse recreational drugs while trying to cope with their obsession with getting admiration and one on one attention by medicating themselves to engage in unhealthy sexual activity because it is only being done to get admiration and attention instead of being part of building a life together in a commited relationship.
So a histionic is like the
TV stereotype of the
hysterical woman that
tells weird lies just to
get attention and doesn't
care how stupid she looks.
Hmmmmmm......if I was armchair psych speculating about Jodi Arias, she would be a strong candidate for this one, with perhaps narcissism, psychopathy, and dependent PD tossed in to make it more lethal. She once made a statement to the effect that she "has no friends because women are jealous of her and all men want to sleep with her". I read a few books about her, Shanna Hogan's Picture Perfect, Exposed, by Jane Velez Mitchell, and Psychological Diagnosis by Dr. Paul Dawson (if he can be judged by this farce he has to be one of the most unethical, simplistic, repetitive, and obtuse psych authors plying his trade on kindle, not recommended AT ALL).
Questions that I had after reading these, which might add evidence for an accurate diagnosis: 1) why didn't Arias, a high school dropout employed generally as a waitress, who seemed to display high average intelligence, get a GED and seek at least community college training for a more remunerative and fulfilling occupation? I got the impression that instead, she tended ( her boss at a resort she established a long term live-in relationship with, and Travis) to attach to more successful men and ride on their coat tails. 2) Arias seemed to have long term jobs and relationships. She was hired back as a waitress, after a period of absence, by the high end CA coastal resort where she met the former supervisor with whom she was living when she met Travis. How did her co-workers and supervisors perceive her, and did she have friendships or socialize with them off duty, and what were those relationships like?
Psychiatrist Dr. Drew Pinsky, in the last chapter of Exposed, speculates she is a Borderline PD, with elements of psychopathy and notes that she lies and manipulates and can't see her own role in what plays out in her life. He notes that she idealizated Travis and then demonized him when he was unable to meet her insatiable demands and that she had a lifelong pattern of not accepting responsibility, a chaotic, unstable job pattern, and that she was unable to examine her part in her and Travis' unhealthy relationship. She was invested in being a victim and engineered her own debasement while then blaming Travis, justifying the revenge of his murder. He discusses psychological defenses such as projective identification and dissociation she used for emotional regulation: by setting up a pattern of sexual conduct with Travis that she claimed made her feel debased and worthless, and attempting to manipulate the jury into sentancing her to death, which would have had them enact rage she herself experienced; her dissociative perception of her own life as an unreal movie allowed her to do hideous things and not be in touch with the level of awfulness and hideousness of it, part and parcel of the emptiness and alienation she felt as a borderline and also explained her comfort with her notoriety.
The tipping point at which a PDed individual essentially destroys their own, and others' lives is intriguing and perplexing. What makes the worm turn? Why is familicide the inevitable consequence of John List or Chris Watt or Jennifer Hart (who deliberately drove off a CA coastal cliff, killing her partner and 6 adopted children, pending a CPS investigation for child neglect). Why do they engineer a tragedy out of all their possible life choices? Is it the modern version of the age old sin of pride, and like Lucifer, they would rather be the star of their own hell instead of "just another Bozo on the bus" as Frank Zappa eloquently put it? Does rigidity play some part in their responding to a crisis, even if that crisis is largely internal, and self generated?
I’ll tell ya. If you’ve never felt it then you’ll never understand from a description. 1. GRANDIOSE 2. RISK TAKING BEHAVIOR. 3. OBNOXIOUS ANGER (sudden outbursts) 4. LIES MANIPULATES 5. SHIFTING EMPTIONS 6. EXAGGERATED SPEACH (thin ideas) they think nobody notices. Super drama theatre. If you’ve ever been gas lit by them, it’s like having a new kind of flue. 🤢🤮made me physically sick.
8:52 in my case, somebody who was clearly antisocial towards us, was now the cherub of justice when people are looking. Classic case of being fake, manipulation mastering, and grandiose posturing.” 😆🙌
@@JKDVIPERare their emotions fake??
HPD makes for good irl content
todd grande i love you i think you have history nerd disorder lol jk brotha i was diagnosed with histrionic a while ago good video
Thank you!
Attention seeker!
Histrionic personality disorder may be misdiagnosed a lot because one of the supposed symptoms is that the person is physically attractive or sexually attractive or goes to great lengths to be physically and/or sexually attractive, or popular for attention. I have experienced histrionic disordered people that over-exaggerate, are manipulative and dramatic and seek attention for needy emotional reasons, who are not attractive and actually carry their pathetic neediness and manipulative attention seeking into their physical appearance. Unless the histrionic is also a narcissist, they are not necessarily physically attractive, and they draw attention through a pathetic appearance or some other debilitated physical appearance. Hypochondriacs tend to be histrionic. Our mass marketed medical system has created a mass media driven popular culture of hypochondriacs. Many are not pretty.
Margo Channing - I view some of this in homeless.
Does Histrionic ever get confused with ADHD?
I don’t like the vague term Borderline and since Borderline (Emotionally Unstable) and Histrionic (Hysteria) are both at its core correlated with egocentrism and unstable emotions/mood, I think they should consolidate the two disorders into the single diagnosis of Hysterical Personality Disorder, and Emotionally Unstable and Hysteria should be considered exact synonyms, as some are just being more dramatic and attention-seeking than others.
Who’s here from the depp vs amber heard court
King
I wonder if a pacient with HPD has to know his own diagnostic?
It's probably given to them yes but from what I've seen of people with these types of disorders is that they tend to use their diagnosis as an excuse for their inappropriate behaviour. This disorder is far more common in females btw.
The few that I’ve known act insulted, and rejecting about their diagnosis. Maybe that interferes with their treatments. I’m not a therapist. I’ve just observed them for professionals to diagnose. (I don’t ring the bell I just observe it.)
I feel personally attacked by this video
Have watched a good few of your newer videos. Disappointed to see a pentagram in the background... speaks volumes Todd
Is this different from dramatic personality disorder?
I'm going to go ahead and say that I would really, really like to make a friend with someone who has histrionic personality disorder. They seem like a lot of fun.
Thanks for making this video about Trisha Paytas
...Soooo Katie Hopkins then?
So.... EVERYTHING has a label nowadays?
Sounds like Nikki Bella from the Bella Twins 🧐
Theyre leeches. Run away
Are there specific physical characteristics for this disorder
It's what you get after studying history for too long, and as a result your perspective on modern cultural norms and world events has been altered to such an extent that you find yourself unable to form meaningful relationships due to the rift that has been formed between yourself and others because it has drastically altered the way you perceive reality.
Playing victim
MMM
Basically, if she's a Hot Girl she's probably in Cluster B.
What a disgrace. 25 years of treating with MH.providers and not one mention of this disorder they want to ignore. Doesn't everyone budget $1500 a month for clothing? $60,000 a year? Doesn't everyone get to be in so much pain from rejection that suicide could rationally be a way to modulate the otherwise unable to turn down or off obsessive malignant painful ending of a 4 month relationship. Doesnt everyone risk their very life from lack.of any boundaries let alone healthy ones? Sure. Label me a depressed addict and may bi polar but then no. Hmmmm medication and sent to AA. Not one diagnosis that was accurate. Seriously, 25 years of pleasant conversations about my week for $300 an hour.
