Do I Have Histrionic Personality Disorder?

CRITICAL MENTAL HEALTH DISCLAIMER - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

This quiz is NOT a psychological diagnosis. Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) is a serious mental health condition that requires professional diagnosis by a licensed mental health professional such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, or licensed clinical therapist with expertise in personality disorders.

This assessment is for educational and self-awareness purposes ONLY. It cannot and does not replace a comprehensive psychological evaluation, clinical interview, or professional diagnosis. Only a qualified mental health provider can diagnose personality disorders.

Do not use this quiz to self-diagnose or label yourself or others. Personality disorders are complex conditions that require careful differential diagnosis to rule out other mental health conditions. If you're concerned about your mental health or personality patterns, please schedule an appointment with a licensed therapist or psychiatrist.

Understanding vs. Diagnosis: This quiz may help you understand certain personality traits or patterns, but having some traits does not mean you have HPD. Professional assessment considers severity, duration, impairment, and many other factors.

By continuing, you acknowledge that this quiz is educational only and that you will seek professional mental health evaluation for any concerns about personality patterns or mental health.
