Dependent personality disorder is characterized as an extreme need to be taken care of, which leads to clinging and submissive behavior and an acute fear of separation or being alone because they strongly believe that they need to be taken care of and cannot be alone.<\/p>\n

People with dependent personality disorder build their lives around others and subordinate their own needs and views to keep others connected and involved in their lives. The struggle to get angry with others in the fear of losing their support indicates they have adapted to physical and psychologically abusive relationships. They also struggle to make decisions and prefer others to make them for them. They constantly seek assurance from others because they lack confidence and feel helpless in most situations.<\/p>\n

The gender difference is that the disorder is higher in women than in men. Individuals with certain personality traits, such as neuroticism and agreeableness, are more likely to be diagnosed with dependent personality disorder. Dependent personality disorder can co-occur with other disorders like mood disorders and other personality disorders.<\/p>\n
