Question

Daphne constantly strives to be the center of attention, yet the ideas she so eloquently expresses are usually shallow and changeable. She is very emotional, a "Damsel in Distress," as if she is always on stage. She overreacts and uses her attractiveness to get her what she wants. What personality disorder would she be diagnosed with?

Answer 1

Answer: Histrionic.

Explanation: The histrionic personality disorder is characterized by exaggerated emotions, and inappropriate attention seeking and seductive behaviour typically caused by undue amounts of trauma and related stress during childhood. People with these disorders have intense, unstable emotions and distorted self-images.
