Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a personality disorder characterized by an exaggerated display of emotion to gain attention and sympathy. Emotional reactions are manipulative and self-focused, and affect all all facets of interpersonal relationships. About two thirds of individuals diagnosed with HPD are women.[1]

Diagnostic criteria

Note: The American Psychiatric Association, which publishes the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, forbids the unauthorized reproduction of their diagnostic criteria. A narrative of the DSM-IV-TR criteria follows.
