I got a diagnosis...

[Peacefu]

So, my therapist finally gave me a diagnosis!

I have a personality disorder according to my therapist, didn't say what type is it yet, but I think I have a clue.

Anyone knows about this disorder? please help me better understand it by giving any helpful data about it Thank you.

Have a great day everyone.

Which one of these do you ‘think’ you have. I would be asking your therapist exactly what he/she has classified you as having. Treatment and management is going to vary.

Paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal, antisocial, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic, avoidant, dependent and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.

My therapist didn't tell me which type yet, after reading about them, I think I have the histrionic type. many of them felt close to my personality, but I think histrionic is the closest.

[Peacefu in reply to Peacefu]

Yup, it's Histrionic personality disorder.

Hello what is histrionic?

[Peacefu in reply to Operalady]

Hi, histrionic is a word that means theatrical or dramatic. Histrionic personality disorder is a type of mental disorder that affects one's relationships and behaviors.

hi I was told by a psychoanalyst,when in my late 20s that I too was a H.p d. and to look it up in my reading ,;then it was named Hysterical ,by Sigmund Freud,father of psychoanalysis------Now its Histrionic, not so explicit that was about 50 yrs ago---it can also depend on the severity of the disorder,but you seem quite well balanced and understand the terminology-hope you are well during lockdown ect.!
