Title: We think that our D17 suffers more from HPD. Is that a form of BPD? Post by: Tesse on November 22, 2013, 07:27:48 AM We think that our D17 suffers more from HPD. Is that a form of BPD?
What are specific signs? More importantly HOW SHOULD WE RESPOND to those rather histrionic behavior patterns? Thanks so much for your help. Title: We think that our D17 suffers more from HPD. Is that a form of BPD? Post by: Surnia on November 23, 2013, 10:31:15 AM Hi Tesse
HPD is not the same like BPD. They are in the same Cluster B however, together with antisocial and narcissistic disorder (DSM-IV). And sometime there is Comorbidity between BPD and HPD.

Still unsure whether my DD16 has either/or histrionic. How will anyone find out? Will it be assessed when therapy starts or is the therapy the same regardless (MBT or DBT)?

I have admit, I am not informed which therapy would be the best for HPD. What exactly is with your daughter can only tell a qualified T or a psychiatrist. And he would also know what is the best treatment for your daughter. I believe that some of the tools we use to make things better with BPD are probably good for other PDs too. Validation, boundaries, not to argue, this are important things. I would give it a try. |
