DSM-5 Category: Personality Disorder​

Histrionic Personality Disorder

Histrionic Personality Disorder is a DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th ed.) diagnosis assigned to individuals who display patterns of attention-seeking, often dramatic behavior to gain the approval of others. This behavior may be flirtatious, emotional, seductive or otherwise in order to capture the attention of onlookers.

Introduction

Long associated with the historical term hysteria - histrionic being a derivative - histrionic personality disorder is a mental condition characterized by over-the-top behavior, such as emotional outbursts, noisy displays of temper, compulsive attention seeking and self-centredness.

Sufferers of histrionic personality disorder may overreact and exaggerate, assume greater familiarity with others than actually exists, pay excessive attention to their appearance and display narcissistic qualities. A Cluster B personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder is closely related to other conditions within the bracket, such as borderline, antisocial, and narcissistic personality disorders.

Histrionic personality disorder affects an estimated one to three per cent of the American population1) and is more prevalent among women than men. The condition often results in distress for the sufferer and may adversely impact on social, occupational and other areas of life.

Symptoms

Symptoms of histrionic personality disorder include the following:

  • Shallow, changeable emotions
  • Assumed intimacy with others
  • Hypersensitivity to criticism
  • Manipulative behavior
  • Disproportionate emotional reactions
  • Sexually provocative behavior
  • A compulsive desire for attention
  • Preoccupation with appearance
  • Suggestible and easily influenced
Diagnosis criteria for histrionic personality disorder

In order to make a diagnosis of histrionic personality disorder, a psychological examination is necessary, along with a general evaluation of the patient’s behavior and overall appearance.

There is no set test to determine whether someone has histrionic personality disorder. Previously, a number of pointers were specified in an earlier edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in order to help clinicians make a diagnosis3). At least five of the following traits needed to be recorded for a diagnosis to be indicated:

  • A compulsion to be the center of attention that results in discomfort if unmet
  • Inappropriate sexual, seductive or provocative behavior when interacting with others
  • Shallow, rapidly shifting emotions
  • The use of physical appearance to draw others’ attention
  • Dramatic, impressionistic speech that lacks detail
  • Exaggerated, theatrical emotional expression
  • Easily influenced by others or situations
  • Assumes relationships are more intimate than they are
Unstructured or semi-structured interviews may also be carried out as part of the diagnostic process; these usually involve investigation into the patient’s concerns without a set series of questions, allowing for free-flowing conversation.

Often, an element of the diagnostic process is the self-report inventory, which usually takes the form of a short questionnaire designed to provide insight into the patient’s state of mind. The subject is required to answer questions pertaining to their lifestyle, symptoms, values and more, which are then assessed and scored by the healthcare professional to indicate the nature of the condition.

Causes of histrionic personality disorder

There is no single known cause of histrionic personality disorder but factors such as genetics and childhood experiences may play some part in the disorder’s development2). Links have been made between the development of personality disorders and the following factors:

Inherited personality traits Studies have determined a correlation between personality traits of extroversion, excitement-seeking and neuroticism and histrionic personality disorder, and there is significant research suggesting that these characteristics may be hereditary4) 5).

Parental influence During childhood, the role of primary caregivers is important in shaping a youngster’s personality; some theorists have put forth suggestions that dependency issues, conditional parental love and emotionally shallow parenting may be associated with the onset of histrionic personality disorder6) 7).

Antisocial personality disorder overlaps Histrionic personality disorder is thought to be closely related to antisocial personality disorder, with studies showing that individuals meeting the criteria for the former condition also meet similar criteria for the latter. Based on this finding, it could be inferred that the two disorders may stem from the same underlying cause; whether this is biological, environmental or otherwise is yet to be determined8).

Neurological factors Suggestions have been made that sufferers of personality disorders may have experienced childhood trauma, which could have affected the development and functioning of parts of the brain that deal with emotions, social functioning and self-control9). Research has also found that neurotransmitters - believed to contribute to emotion and impulse regulation - may be deficient among personality disorder sufferers.

The lack of a definitive cause for histrionic personality disorder allows for speculation that the condition could develop as a result of combined biological, psychological and social elements, rather than from a single specific cause9).

Comorbidity

Histrionic personality disorder may present comorbid with other conditions, including:

  • Borderline personality disorder
  • Narcissistic personality disorder
  • Dependent personality disorder
  • Major depressive disorder
  • Somatic symptom disorder
  • Conversion disorder


Other disorders may be diagnosed with personality disorders, such as anorexia nervosa10) and alcohol or substance misuse disorders11)

Living with histrionic personality disorder

Histrionic personality disorder is usually diagnosed when a sufferer is in their late teens or early twenties, when an individual’s personality is believed to have fully developed.

Many individuals suffering from histrionic personality disorder come across as charming, are able to function highly and achieve success in their occupation and in social circles. However, problems may be encountered in the sufferer’s personal life and romantic relationships.

People with histrionic personality disorder can struggle to deal with failure or loss, have difficulty overcoming the fallout of a failed relationship or find they become bored in their job quickly. Similarly, sufferers may crave new experiences and excitement, which can lead to risk-taking behavior. These factors may all increase the risk of depression2).

Treatment

Individuals suffering from histrionic personality disorder may be unaware of their condition until they seek treatment for something else, such as depression or anxiety from a failed relationship. A diagnosis will often determine that the problems reported by the patient are the symptomatic results of histrionic personality disorder.

The problem is that if you base the game plan on lies, it doesn't work.
That little quote graphic of Xs profitability was written by a chap called Brian Wang who contributes to a pro-musk website
All of the actual financial websites show X as posting losses and having issues with interest and debt burden.

https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/x-formerly-twitter-struggling-to-make-money/738836/

Though that’s, reportedly, what Musk has been pushing, with recent reports suggesting that Musk has sought to motivate X staff to do more, noting in a recent all-staff email that “user growth is stagnant, revenue is unimpressive, and we’re barely breaking even.”
Click to expand...

The other crap part about this "game plan" is that Musk appears not to understand government. He doesn't understand how beneficial USAID is or what it does. He doesn't understand rules, confidentiality or what the limits of presidential power are. He is crashing and burning under the weight of his own hubris.

My accountant always recited this mantra.

"Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity"

If X has maintained or increased profits amid the lefts onslaught to de-advertise the platform, convert it from left wing to right wing. Then that is remarkable successful business strategy
