Histrionic Personality Disorder

Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) is a chronic mental health condition characterized by intense emotionality and a strong desire for attention. Individuals with HPD may exhibit overly dramatic behavior, excessive emotional expression, and a need to be the center of attention. Treatment for HPD typically involves psychotherapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which help individuals understand and manage their symptoms. Group therapy provides a supportive environment where individuals can share experiences and develop healthier interpersonal skills. While there are no specific medications for HPD, medications may be prescribed to address co-occurring conditions like depression or anxiety.
