Differentiating DPD from Other Personality Disorders
- Versus Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): Both disorders involve fear of abandonment, but BPD is characterized by intense mood swings and impulsivity, whereas DPD is marked by submissiveness and a need for reassurance.
- Versus Avoidant Personality Disorder (APD): Individuals with APD avoid social interactions due to fear of rejection, while those with DPD actively seek relationships to gain support and reassurance.
- Versus Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD): HPD involves attention-seeking and dramatic behaviors, whereas DPD centers on dependency and fear of being alone.
