What Is Histrionic Personality Disorder?
4. Dramatic Behavior
Histrionic personality disorder is known for causing people to act in an overly dramatic manner. Their behavior will sometimes appear as though they are performing on a stage, and quite unconvincingly. It will often be clear to many people that the patient’s behavior is exaggerated.
Patients with histrionic personality disorder are also more likely to dress in a revealing, provocative manner. They can also be very flirtatious even when it is not appropriate. The patient is also more likely to be very concerned with their physical appearance, and will regularly need to check in the mirror to see how they look.
