Yes, just like someone can have both Diabetes and high blood pressure, a person can have more than one mental disorder.
Also, those 2 disorders are in the same cluster (cluster B), and having one cluster B disorder puts a person at a higher risk than average for having traits of another cluster B disorder.
The behaviors associated with people diagnosed with histrionic personality disorder are similar to other mental disorders. Common behaviors are attention seeking, dressing and acting promiscuously, rapid behavior change, and rash/impulsive decision making.
histrionic personality disorder
Histrionic Personality Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that is characterized by engaging in risky and inappropriate behaviors for attention. Though patients often exhibit provocative behavior, that is only one symptom out of many, so a person could theoretically still have the condition, but also have a fear of sexual contact.
Histrionic males are rare. The differences between the Histrionic Personality Disorder and soamtic narcissism are subtle.
Histrionic personality disorder sufferers tend to exaggerate things, act in a dramatic fashion, and can be prone to excessive shows of sentimentality, anger, sadness, and happiness verging on mania. They can use this to manipulate people. The "drama queen" archetype applies.
Borderline Personality Disorder and/ or Histrionic Personality Disorder
Possibly narcissistic personality disorder. Possibly sociopathic personality disorder.
When a person has a need for a lot of attention it is called narcissistic personality disorder. When the need for attention is excessive it is called histrionic personality disorder.
Psychopathy, Antisocial Personality Disorder, Asocial Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder are probably the closest. Some sources do not differentiate among some of these and sociopathy.
* Antisocial personality disorder - Psychopaths/sociopaths * Narcissistic personality disorder * Histrionic personality disorder * Schizoid personality disorder * Borderline personality disorder These all have some of the symptoms of sociopaths, there may be more but these are the ones that I currently know of.
