A Mission for Michael (AMFM) offers comprehensive treatment options for those experiencing symptoms of histrionic personality disorder. Symptoms of this condition can be described as attention-seeking alongside emotional instability. This can make navigating your day-to-day life and maintaining healthy relationships challenging. AMFM mental health treatment programs are available in California, Washington, and Virginia.
AMFM Mental Health Treatment Centers have counseling services available to treat various mental health disorders, including dual diagnosis concerns. Our goal is to help you understand your mental health condition so that you can learn to manage your symptoms effectively. Let’s begin by providing a basic understanding of the signs of histrionic personality disorder and commonly used behavioral health treatments. We encourage you to contact us today to inquire about our available histrionic personality disorder treatment options.
Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) contributes to a lifelong pattern of behaviors and emotional expression that falls outside societal norms. Individuals living with this condition may be described as dramatic and attention-seeking. There is still a lot that we don’t know about this condition. Research estimates that its prevalence falls between 0.4% and 1.8%.
Those who are living with a histrionic personality disorder often begin to experience noticeable symptoms in late adolescence or early adulthood. They often feel unappreciated when they are not the center of attention. Symptoms of histrionic personality disorder contribute to their desire to be the center of attention, such as theatrical behavior. Psychotherapy is the primary treatment for this condition, though there is limited support for the reduction of symptoms with treatment. Instead, treatment can be viewed as a resource that can help you learn to cope with and manage your symptoms. This work can focus on acceptance and mindfulness.
Personality disorders, as a whole, have lower levels of research compared to other mental health conditions. The cause for histrionic personality disorder is believed to be a combination of several factors, including genetics, childhood abuse and trauma, and the parenting styles you were exposed to.
There has been research showing that histrionic personality disorder tends to run in families, which indicates a genetic component to it. Children who experience adverse childhood events may have developed coping skills for these experiences that later developed into histrionic personality disorder. Children who grow up in homes that have little to no boundaries and are inconsistent or indulgent are more likely to develop this personality disorder. Lastly, children who learn that certain behaviors can be used to get attention at a young age may continue using these behaviors to fulfill their needs as they grow.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), is a resource developed by the American Psychological Association (APA) that is used by mental health professionals to understand and diagnose mental health conditions. This resource provides a list of symptoms and signs of histrionic personality disorder. This includes:
These symptoms can make it challenging to maintain healthy relationships with others. Family and friends may find themselves embarrassed by exaggerated and theatrical behaviors. This is a complex condition that can look differently to everyone, which is why we encourage you to seek professional support if you suspect that you, or someone you love, are experiencing signs of histrionic personality disorder.
The cost of dependent personality disorder treatment varies for different levels of care. Generally, residential programs cost more than outpatient treatment options. Residential programs for mental health concerns can range from $500 to $2,000 per day. Psychotherapy tends to fall within $100 to $200 per hour, and specialized options like partial hospitalization programs and intensive outpatient programs incur higher costs.
The cost of treatment varies based on the location of the treatment facility, your use of specialized treatment options, the duration of care, and other factors. The best route to understanding the cost of treatment and exploring how to pay is to contact A Mission For Michael today and receive a personalized quote.

Histrionic personality disorder has some of the lowest prevalence rates of personality disorders. Symptoms of histrionic personality disorder can affect a person’s ability to maintain employment, have healthy relationships, and maintain their overall health and well-being. Some of the variations of histrionic personality disorder include:
Tempestuous histrionic personality disorder is characterized by extreme mood swings and emotional instability. You may frequently experience outbursts from being frustrated or overwhelmed with your emotional experiences. This can make it challenging to maintain healthy relationships and to maintain continuous communication patterns with others.
Those living with theatrical histrionic personality disorder may be extremely focused on their physical appearance and how others perceive them. They may be described as having a dramatic personality and exaggerate their behaviors and responses to gain attention in social settings. They may experience excessive emotionality. External validation based on their appearance and/or image is desired.
Someone living with inhibited HPD may be perceived as naive or distant from others. This is often due to continual difficulty expressing their emotions. They may appear passive in relationships and avoid making close personal connections with others when possible.
Those who are living with disingenuous histrionic personality disorder engage in dishonest and manipulative behaviors to gain attention from others. They may change characteristics about themselves or exhibit superficial charm. Individuals are often more interested in their gain than in making true personal connections with others.
Infantile histrionic personality disorder is characterized by childish behaviors and reactions and depending on others for emotional support. Attention is received through the use of immature and playful behaviors that are not age or developmentally appropriate. Emotion regulation and managing responsibilities are common challenges with this subtype.
Those living with vivacious histrionic personality disorder are often energetic and do well in social situations. They are engaging and charming and may struggle with impulsiveness. Vivacious HPD can also contribute to attention-seeking and other dramatic behaviors and constantly seeking excitement in life.
Appeasing histrionic personality disorder often includes a focus on pleasing others and putting personal needs on the back burner to get approval from others. These individuals often avoid conflict by being agreeable with others, even in situations that they do not agree with. Individuals commonly struggle to set and maintain healthy boundaries within relationships.

Treatment programs can range in intensity and duration to accommodate individual needs. Examples of histrionic personality disorder treatment options include:
Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) treatment programs use various therapeutic approaches to address the individual aspects of this mental health condition. There isn’t a cookie-cutter approach to mental health counseling, which is why professionals at AMFM Mental Health Treatment Centers choose therapies that align with your symptoms and needs. Therapies that may be used to treat HPD include:
Music and art therapy are alternative treatment options that can help you find new ways to express your emotions and thoughts. This can be particularly helpful for those who avoid conflict by keeping their thoughts to themselves. Creative therapies can help you gain new insights and awareness into your internal experiences and provide a healthy outlet for self-expression.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) can help you learn to control impulsiveness associated with histrionic personality disorder by introducing emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT combines components of mindfulness and cognitive therapy to help you accept your emotions and make healthy changes to decrease the frequency or intensity of symptoms.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most commonly used therapeutic approaches. This approach can address the negative or unhealthy thoughts that contribute to symptoms like attention-seeking behaviors and exaggerated emotional responses. CBT can promote new coping skills and help individuals make healthy changes to thought patterns that contribute to unhealthy thoughts and behaviors.
Family-focused therapy is used to include your family in treatment and improve the family dynamic. This can include psychoeducation as well as addressing behaviors or patterns that contribute to unhealthy dynamics at home. Family members can learn how to work together to decrease conflict and strengthen relationships.
Mindfulness and meditation practices can help increase awareness of your emotions and reactions at the moment so that you can actively work to decrease impulsivity and excessive emotionality. Regular use of these practices can improve emotion regulation skills and decrease the need for external attention and validation.
Group therapy can be an impactful and healing experience. You can connect with others in a safe environment and practice new social skills. You’ll provide each other with feedback and guidance as you navigate these skills together. This can be a validating and healing experience, allowing you to build healthy connections in a therapeutic environment.
Transference-focused psychotherapy is an approach that investigates the therapist-client relationship to help you gain new perspectives on how your patterns of socializing affect your relationships. This can help you see where you can introduce changes to your behaviors and decrease the frequency of emotional outbursts.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps you accept your thoughts and emotions as they naturally occur. This approach can bring your attention to how your behaviors align with your values, allowing you to make changes to get closer to aligning with your values. When you do this, you may notice a decrease in your need for approval.
