Histrionic Personality Disorder Jhony

Individuals with histrionic personality disorder tend to be overly dramatic and seek constant attention and approval. They view things in black and white terms and speak in an exaggerated, vague manner lacking details. Histrionic personality disorder is more commonly diagnosed in women, raising questions about potential overdiagnosis due to gender stereotypes. Treatments have not been well-researched but may involve helping those with the disorder to better specify their feelings and expressions rather than speaking in general or exaggerated terms.
