Dependent
personality disorder
This disorder is a mental state in
which people depend too much on others to meet their emotional and physical
needs.
People who suffer from this
disorder do not trust their own ability to make decisions. They may feel very
upset by the separation and loss of someone. They can do anything, even suffer
abuse, in order to maintain a relationship
The symptoms of dependent
personality disorder may include:
• Avoid being alone
• Avoid personal responsibility
• Is easily hurt by criticism or
disapproval
• Focus too much on the fears of
being abandoned
• Between others…
This disease is suffered by more
women than men and the majority in adulthood, although it is not ruled out that
children suffer from it.
This disorder is diagnosed based on
a psychological evaluation and its most effective treatment is to help people,
through more independent choices in life. There is also a medication treatment,
but it is not usually used unless the person has another mental disorder in
addition to it.
The impact on the job can be hard,
since being unable to make decisions is difficult to maintain a position in a
job.
As for the family, it can be hard
if the family does not have the patience and interest for the person to
improve, since generally people with a disorder need people to support and help
them.
The complications that people with
this disorder can have are alcoholism or substance use, depression and a higher
probability of sexual, physical or emotional abuse, so the social impact is
severe, that is, if this person does not have a close circle
"Healthy" may die or hurt herself.
If you think you may have this
disorder, check with a specialist. The important thing is to get out of doubt
and feel good.
