News of Histrionic Personality Disorder Forum

I REMEMBER LEARNING IN A PSYCHOLOGY CLASS I TOOK IN COLLEGE THAT I RESULTS FROM A FAILURE OF THE BRAIN TO DEVELOP CORRECTLY DUE TO (I) SOME TRAUMA EARLY ON IN A CHILD'S FORMATIVE YEARS OR (II) A GENETIC PREDISPOSITION THAT IS TRIGGERED MY SOME LIFE EVENT.

I ALSO THINK I REMEMBER HEARING THAT CERTAIN LIFE EVENTS, IF THEY OCCUR EARLY ENOUGH IN THE CHILD'S LIFE, CAN CORRECT THE DISORDER.

ANY THOUGHTS (KONTROLLERx OR OTHERS)? ...

My apologies

If the website has better advice than you for dating I'll eat my hat!

Greetings everyone,

Its such a relief to finally find a forum to communicate with people who are able to relate to me. She fits the diagnosis for HPD. Additionaly, I have noticed how she tries to manipulate my emotions seeking a desired response. At the moment, as I am tired of her games and I have decided not to contact her for a week and she hasnt attempted to contact me either.

Question is, should ...

I have been reading and re-reading this HPD forum for a few months struggling with my situation. I needed your help, I have learned a lot here and I am now ready to share my experiences with you.

I am a man of 44, quite happily married with a wonderful woman and I have a lovely daughter of 7. I am partner in a small biotechnology company, responsible for business development.

not all hpd's are sociopath's but i tend to believe that the hpd's who wilfully manipulate and conquer innocent victim after innocent victim are displaying sociopathic tendencies. i found a study that explains the correlation. it's very complicated so i posted parts of it here. if you want to read the entire article click on the link: note: it was a study done on female offenders. i am not implying that all hpd's are offenders. ...

Hi! I am not trying to recreate the controversy which led to the original topic being locked, but merely continuing on my personal quest for the truth, peace and light.

I plan to speak to my wife's parents and impress upon them the seriousness of what she has.. Whether it be ASPD, HPD or a combo.
They do not seem to have grasped the situation and are treating it more or less like a serious ...

Hi all,

I'm hoping you can help me figure this one out. There is a woman that I work with that has turned the whole office upside down since she was hired.

Instead of giving you a whole rundown of what's happened over the past year I thought that I would just put some of it in point form to give you an overview in hopes that you will be able to help me figure ...

First - I wanted to say that I have called to schedule an appointment with a Psych (not sure if it's an ologist or an iatrist, lol) but I came across this forum and thought I'd pop in and ask a few questions from other people who know/suffer from the disorder.

After having an (almost) nervous breakdown at work last week, I quit my fourth job this year due to stress, etc. and decided it ...
