F60: Specific personality disorders

F60.4: Histrionic personality disorder

Everyone has personal characteristics that are deeply rooted. The personality involves certain patterns: how one things, feels and behaves. Personal characteristic patterns can exist that can cause problems in one’s work and social environment. This usually happens when behavioral patterns and thought patterns differ greatly from those of the majority of the population.

Your personality has changed. One may appear dramatic and exaggerated. One may be constantly looking for adventure and enjoyment. One may also wish for greater recognition and attention from those around them. One’s appearance may be more important than is normal.
