Supporting someone with Dependent Personality Disorder
DPD can be overwhelming. As with other personality disorders, many people are ashamed to seek help for their symptoms. This can affect quality of life and increase the long-term risk for anxiety and depression. If you suspect a loved one might have DPD, it’s important to encourage them to seek treatment before their condition worsens. This can be a sensitive matter for someone with DPD, especially since they seek constant approval and don’t want to disappoint their loved ones. Focus on the positive aspects to let your loved one know they’re not being rejected. Taken from http://www.healthline.com/health/dependent-personality-disorder#outlook7
