A MEDICAL CASE STUDY REPORT ON HISTRIONIC PERSONALITY DISORDER AND POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (words 895 ) INTRODUCTION Histrionic Personality Disorder is a mental health condition that causes the patient to act in an emotional and dramatic manner in order to receive attention. They engage in sexually seductive behavior to draw attention to themselves and may seek to control their partner through seductiveness in one level and then displaying dependency on them at another level .

Explain the concepts of loss in relation to acquired brain injury for individuals and carers The care that is given to an individual with an acquired brain injury is crucial. It can be a major stress factor for close family members as well as the individual as life has to change completely.

These symptoms are event re-experiencing, arousal and avoidance/numbing. To re-experience an event, is described as ‘intrusive recollection’ through thoughts, images or awareness. These intrusions are always unwelcomed, painful and uncontrollable (Schiraldi 2009). These experiences begin with a trigger. A trigger is anything that reminds the victim of the traumatic event.
