Question

An individual with ___________ Personality Disorder is often described as colorful, dramatic, extroverted, excitable, and emotional. Underneath this flamboyant exterior is a deep-seated inability to maintain strong, reciprocal, and long-lasting friendships. Essential features include a pattern of extreme attention seeking and highly expressive emotions. The most striking feature is the desire to be the center of attention.

Answer 1

Answer:

c) Histrionic

Explanation:

A histrionic personality disorder is a disorder that is characterized by excessive behavior that is labeled as attention-seeking.

People who are diagnosed with it tend to be more flamboyant, dramatic, enthusiastic, to flirt more, be provocative and seek approval.

Some more of the signs are:

• exhibitionistic behavior
• over-excessive pride
• inappropriate social behavior
• low tolerance for anger
• need for attention
• not accepting criticism
• making rush decisions
• being overly dramatic and having high, exaggerated mood-swings.

It is difficult to treat because people who have this disorder usually avoid getting help or admitting the problems. If they do seek treatment, there are possible medications that might lighter the symptoms, but the best-proven treatment is psychotherapy.
