00:00Welcome back Sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying
00:08bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, Dependent Personality Disorder, Causes, Symptoms
00:15and Treatment.
00:16Dependent Personality Disorder or DPD can make you feel helpless, needing constant reassurance
00:21and care, and struggling with decisions without help.
00:24It's equally common in men and women, and usually shows up in young adulthood when important
00:27relationships form.
00:291.
00:30Symptoms, you might feel overly dependent on others, constantly seeking to please them
00:34and fearing separation.
00:36Common signs include, struggles to make decisions, even simple ones, without reassurance, avoids
00:41responsibilities by acting passive and relying on others for big decisions.
00:45Fears abandonment, feel helpless when relationships end, quickly jumping into new ones.
00:50Over sensitive to criticism, pessimistic and lacking confidence and avoids disagreement
00:54to maintain approval.
00:55Can't start tasks due to low confidence.
00:58Likes being alone, tolerates mistreatment to maintain relationships.
01:01Puts caregiver's needs above their own.
01:04Tends to be naive and fantasize.
01:052.
01:06Causes, the exact cause isn't clear, but it likely involves a mix of genetics, upbringing
01:10and psychological factors.
01:12Overprotective parenting might lead to dependent traits in those at risk.
01:163.
01:17Diagnosis, a diagnosis of DPD requires ruling out similar conditions like Borderline Personality
01:22Disorder.
01:23Your doctor will assess your medical history and may refer you to a mental health professional
01:27for a proper diagnosis.
01:284.
01:29Treatment, psychotherapy is the main treatment for DPD, aimed at helping individuals become
01:34more active, independent, and form healthy relationships.
01:37Short-term therapy focuses on managing disruptive behaviors, while long-term therapy explores
01:42early experiences that shape personality.
01:45Assertiveness training and cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT, help build self-confidence and
01:49develop new perspectives.
01:51Therapy often addresses the patient's reliance on others, allowing them to make more independent
01:55choices.
01:56Depression may be used to treat related issues like depression or anxiety, but it doesn't
02:00address the core of DPD.
02:025.
02:03Complications, DPD can lead to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and even being in
02:08abusive relationships, as you may go to great lengths to maintain them.
02:126.
02:13Prevention, while preventing DPD isn't always possible, early treatment can help you develop
02:17better ways of handling relationships and situations.
02:20Therapy started early with strong motivation can be most effective.
