What is a histrionic personality disorder?

Imagine a person named Emily who is always seeking attention and validation from others. She wears revealing clothing and heavy makeup to seek attention, and if she does not get it, she will feel upset and anxious.

You may notice that she frequently changes her hairstyle and color. She participates in social events and tries to dominate conversations by speaking loudly and telling stories in a dramatic manner. She may go beyond her limits to manipulate and control others. She struggles to maintain long-term relationships because she is demanding and is easily influenced by others.

In short histrionic personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by excessive emotionality, attention-seeking, and a need for approval from others.
