Histrionic Personality Disorder. Consult Doctor Advice?
Hello, I think that i may have Histrionic Personality Disorder and I don't know what to do or if I should see a doctor. But I am tired of living the way I do. I lie, and cheat and feel so uncomfortable when confronted. I never stop talking about myself. I feel selfish and evil. I don't mean to do any of it it just happens, and it has for years. I am only 20 and I have slept with 22 people. Most of which I was in another relationship during. I seduce without even realizing it and sleep with people I am not attracted to because I like the attention. I hate who I am. Should I see a doctor? can I be helped if it is diagnosed?

Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
It seems that you are having histrionic personality but bipolar personality traits should also be ruled out.
You should consult psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and management.
After confirming the diagnosis, doctor may advise you to go for counselling and psychotherapy to get rid of this problem.
You may get benefit by doing stress management and relaxation therapy for better control.
Please use acceptable contraceptives while having relation to prevent infections or unwanted pregnancy .
Thanks.

Hi
I have gone through your post. Actually speaking, a number of personality traits, without gaining sufficient severity as to attract a diagnosis of a personality disorder, is commonly found in general population. Personality disorders are extreme manifestations of this, and is a lifetime diagnosis where the way a person behaves, thinks and sees the world interferes significantly with his or her socio-cultural and occpuational wellbeing.
If you think your way of interacting with the world is proving maladaptive, do consult a psychiatrist. He / she will be the ideal person to diagnose such problems, in case you have one. If they are present, they require special attention, psychoeducation, psychotherapies and social interventions to help you do well in life.
Hope this helps
