Histrionic PD:
"a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention-seeking, including an excessive need for approval and inappropriate seductiveness, usually beginning in early adulthood. These individuals are lively, dramatic, enthusiastic, and flirtatious.
They may be inappropriately sexually provocative, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and be easily influenced by others. Associated features may include egocentrism, self-indulgence, continuous longing for appreciation, feelings that are easily hurt, and persistent manipulative behavior to achieve their own needs."
This personality disorder is part of group B which includes narcissism and boarderline personality disorders. It frequently has co-morbidity with Bipolar Disorder and other personality disorders.
This is a note to myself as I often clump narcissistic personalities with histrionic ones... not unfairly as both are desperately needy and draining to others.
