Prevalence of Histrionic Personality Disorder: A Rare Condition

Histrionic personality disorder is one of the rarest personality disorders. According to data from the National Institutes of Health, 1.8% of U.S. adults fit the diagnostic criteria for HPD. However, due to the nature of HPD, many individuals with this condition may be unaware there is a problem and therefore unlikely to seek professional help, suggesting that a larger share of the population is living with undiagnosed or unknown HPD. In addition, HPD may co-occur with other mental health conditions, such as narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, mood disorders and more.

High Focus Centers PA is at the forefront of HPD treatment, adapting our methods and staying informed about the latest research to offer state-of-the-art treatment for those affected.

People with HPD may experience difficulty in forming stable relationships, leading them to seek constant reassurance and validation. This section covers the defining traits of HPD, examining how it manifests in daily life and impacts social, professional and personal spheres. At High Focus Centers PA, we understand the importance of educating both clients and their families on HPD to create a foundation for effective treatment and lasting change.
