To notice the person hysterics, he often provokes other people to certain actions or exaggerates the level of his friendship with them. Psychologists say that the problem of hysteria in these patients is laid down in early childhood. If the children were too strict parents, they treated their children coldly, then, as adults, they learned to create difficulties, failures and dramatize, practically, every situation in order to get a little attention from others.
Treatment of hysterical personality disorder
Unfortunately, hysterics are difficult to restore. The specialist is forced to keep some distance while communicating with the patient, as the latter can deceive him about the improvements that have come about or try to manipulate him.
You can use group or individual treatment. If a patient is diagnosed with severe depression , medication is usually prescribed. Doctors try to instill in patients more calm norms of behavior and reasoning. If a hysterical person realizes his morbid condition and tries to improve it, gradually she learns to take her emotions under control and manage them.
It is important to remember that timely treatment to the doctor will help the patient eliminate the main symptoms and adapt to the environment. But in each case a certain approach is used. Note that if you start treatment for a hysterical disorder, it can result in a more severe form and lead to psychosis.
