Hi there, thanks for asking. It is a serious issue and can lead to some social and familial problems. I recommend that you refer to a psychiatrist to assess the situation thoroughly. It may be a mood problem which could be easily treated. It may be a personality issue which needs some talk sessions to explore and some talk sessions during the time to addressed. Since you are uncomfortable with your situation, you have a good motivation for the change and you will be able to change it, if it is so. Best wishes.

Hello
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The symptoms you are having are excessive anger, attention seeking behavior, frequent flirting. These are considered as normal if they don't hamper own as well as others life. But as you are having distress due to these symptoms then they will be considered abnormal.

You want continuous attention, and when ever you don't get attention, there occurs increase in stress and which results in increased anger outbursts. The problem is needed to be resolved by Psychotherapeutic methods, as there may be some unresolved desires and you have to express these. Visit to a psychologist will help.
Other symptom you have mentioned is increased flirting, wanting someone to feel and touch you intensively. These may be part of your other symptomatology or these may be due to hyper sexual behavior. It has to be controlled.
I will advise you to exercise daily for at least 15-30 minutes, practice yoga and meditation, Progressive muscle relaxation techniques will help you to vent anger. Other thing when ever you feel angry due to some inattention go and drink one glass of water in small sips over about 1 minute. This will help to decrease anger. Try to spend your time in some constructive activity.

Thanks, Take Care

Hello........
Thanks for your query. The possible differential diagnosis based on the reported symptoms include:
1. Mood disorders
2. Histrionic personality disorder
3. Narcisstic personality disorder
I suggest you consult a psychiatrist for a thorough evaluation to rule out the above conditions and an appropriate treatment strategy of psychotherapy for personality disorders or mood stabilisers for mood disorders can be initiated based on the diagnosis. Wish you good health.
Regards
Dr Sundar
