Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by excess of emotion and constant need to call the attention and obtain praise of other people.
They are people who feel uncomfortable when the attentions are not directed towards them, and can often present seductive behavior, provocative or manipulative through the body or beauty to be noticed.
Individuals with histrionic personality disorder are very dramatic, theatrical and like to present speeches to impress, expressing emotions exaggeratedly. However, the conversation tends to be vague and shallow, with few details.
Another characteristic of people with histrionic personality disorder is the tendency to be influenced by others or by circumstances. They constantly seek approval of others about what they think or do.
It is also common to over-consider people who are not very close. This type of personality disorder is characterized by lack of affection constant, with futile, demanding and volatile behavior.
People with histrionic disorder usually have immature personality and therefore have difficulty relating more fully to others and the environment that surrounds them. Often they do not know how to wait and they do not tolerate delays and postponements of situations.
Other striking signs of histrionic personality disorder are fury and cry disproportionate to the situations that triggered them. But while their emotions are exaggerated, their feelings can change easily.
The psychiatrist is the specialist responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of histrionic personality disorder.
