What Is Histrionic Personality Disorder?
6. Compulsive Behavior
Many patients with histrionic personality disorder will have a tendency to act compulsively. They can make decisions impulsively with little to no consideration for the impact that those decisions might have on themselves and others. This will occasionally get them in trouble with authorities, and they may also sometimes put themselves in harm’s way.
The patient will also tend not to show concern for other people in general, and decisions they do make will likely be focused on benefiting them. Their behavior will also mean the patient has difficulties forming and maintaining relationships with other people. This will often be because other people find the patient to be shallow and insincere in the way they act.
