Effects of Dependent Personality Disorder on Interpersonal Relationships and Society Abstract Aside from the anxiety that a person with Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD) suffers from on a daily basis, there are also interpersonal problems that follow the disorder. Since there is a constant need for approval and reassurance, it can lead family and friends to become frustrated and possibly reject the person suffering from DPD.
