Meeeoowww...... my Mistress is suffering from histrionic personality disorder and I am sick and tired of her
stupid blog. It's such a life, I wish someone would come along and boil me in a saucepan but no one will do it, no one's interested. The histrionic woman makes it all up.
Pity me!
Here is an outline of her disorder:
Diagnostic Features:Histrionic Personality Disorder is a condition characterized by excessive emotionality and attention-seeking. This disorder is only diagnosed when these behaviors become persistent and very disabling or distressing.
Complications:Individuals with this disorder may have difficulty achieving emotional intimacy in romantic relationships. Without being aware of it, they often act out a role (e.g., "victim" or "princess"). They may seek to control their partner through emotional manipulation or seductiveness on one level, whereas displaying a marked dependency on them at another level. Individuals with this disorder often have impaired relationships with same-sex friends because of their sexually provocative behavior or their demands for constant attention. They crave novelty, stimulation, and excitement and have a tendency to become bored with their usual routine. Although they often initiate a job or project with great enthusiasm, their interest may lag quickly. The actual risk of suicide is not known, but individuals with this disorder are at increased risk for suicidal gestures and threats to get attention and coerce better care giving.
Comorbidity:Somatization Disorder, Conversion Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder and other Personality Disorders (especially Borderline, Narcissistic, Antisocial, and Dependent) frequently co-occur with this disorder.
Associated Laboratory Findings:No laboratory test has been found to be diagnostic of this disorder.
Prevalence:The frequency of this disorder is equal in males and females, and this disorder is present in about 2%-3% of the general population (and 10%-15% of psychiatric outpatients).
Course:It usually begins in early adulthood, and has a chronic course.
