Shawn Spencer from the show psych has Histrionic Personality Disorder and I will die on this hill
I will showcase this below:
(disclaimer: I'm not a psychologist, this is for entertainment purposes and blah blah)
Based on the dsm 5 the symptoms are:
1. Is uncomfortable in situations in which he or she is not the center of attention.
We can clearly see this in the entire show, but one that comes to mind is the episode One, Maybe Two, Ways Out(s05e09) with Declan rand. Shawn absolutely hates being overshadowed by anyone.
He always has to be the center of attention, whether by making a big speech or causing a scene.
2. Interaction with others is often characterized by inappropriate sexually seductive or provocative behavior.
Do I even need to add anything to this?
3. Displays rapidly shifting and shallow expression of emotions.
This one I don't really see. But we only need 5 of these so...
4. Consistently uses physical appearance to draw attention to self.
He loves costumes and playing characters
Here's a reddit post of their costumes:
5. Has a style of speech that is excessively impressionistic and lacking in detail.
He's often seen talking in funny voices and impersonations
Honestly the moments where his speech is normal are rarer than when it's not
6. Shows self-dramatization, theatricality, and exaggerated expression of emotion.
Theatrics are literally his thing. theatricality and dramatics are core to his persona. He's always doing s bit
7. Is suggestible (i.e., easily influenced by others or circumstances).
One good example for this one is the bounty hunter episode
But also it happens a lot where he goes into the roll of whatever they investigating and although sometimes it's for undercover reasons, there are times where it's not.
8. Considers relationships to be more intimate than they actually are.
This one I also don't really see
But so far we have 6 that I think do apply
And yes I did write this instead of sleeping
There's more examples to argue for this but this is what comes to my mind rn. Might add to this.
