How do you deal with someone who has histrionic personality disorder?

In: Mental Health, Relationships, Conditions and Diseases [Edit categories]

Answer:

I have lived all my life with members of my family with this disorder.

Always always make sure they take their medication. If they wont take meds, look in to alternative.

Look into therapy as well, for yourself.

Remember you have to put yourself first, that is the key, otherwise you will be no good to anyone.

At all times you have to be honest. I know this sounds hard, but you will always need someone to confide in.

And most of all good luck.

Run away from them asap!
