Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD) represents a severe psychological disorder which may make people helpless, insecure and unable to make decisions without always being told by another person.

Whether you or a loved one is suffering from aspects of dependent personality disorder, we understand how difficult the journey of making that first step towards long-term change can be, and we are waiting to help you make that step now.
What is Dependent Personality Disorder?
The dependent personality disorder is also a member of Cluster C personality disorders, obsessive and widespread psychological dependence on other people. DPD patients always feel that they are not in a position to make decisions and they are afraid of being left or left to attend to themselves.
Individuals with dependent personality disorder are usually subject to the emotional and physical dependency of others and therefore find it hard to operate or be functional in personal, social or working spheres. It may result in one-sided encounters, hostile emotional states of being, and difficulties in upholding a satisfying existence.
DPD normally commences in early adulthood and it can occur to individuals of both genders and all backgrounds. Nevertheless, through effective treatment, people can get rid of the restricting thoughts and behavior related to this disorder and start creating an independent life.

Contact UsCauses of Dependent Personality Disorder
A single cause of DPD does not exist. Rather, it is a combination of biological, environmental, and psychological factors. The causes of dependent personality disorder may be used to get an effective treatment plan to is helpful in this respect.
1. Childhood Experiences:
Most of the people with DPD have had parents who were too controlling, authoritarian, or neglectful. Early age trauma or emotional abuse, or prolonged illness, may also be seen as the cause of developing a dependent attitude.

Uncertain relationship models adopted as a child, particularly in the presence of unreliable or overprotective caregivers, may cause a person to become unable to develop healthy associations in adulthood.
3. Genetic and Biological Factors:
The personality disorders, including DPD, may have some hereditary component. There is an increased risk for those who have a family history of anxiety disorders or personality disorders.

In others, DPD behaviors can be encouraged by cultural expectations or social norms that promote subservience or passivity or over-dependency on authority figures.

Treatment for Dependent Personality Disorder
Our mission statement at Orlando Treatment Solutions is to free people of dependency and restore their confidence and form healthy, independent relationships. Our treatment program depends on the needs of every person and is directed on emotional development, realization of independence and recovery of our dependent personality disorder.
Comprehensive Assessment
Treatment will be initiated by conducting a thorough psychological assessment to identify the occurrence as well as the intensity of the symptoms of dependent personality disorder with or without the presence of other mental issues such as depression, anxiety, or trauma. This is a very vital step towards a tailor-made treatment plan.
Psychotherapy for Dependent Personality Disorder
Therapy through talking is the keystone of treatment. The modalities used are evidence-based as follows:
1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
CBT assists people in recognizing and changing faulty patterns in the way one think, confronts their fear of rejection and develops the ability to solve and make decisions.
2. Psychodynamic Therapy:
This method assists in examining the unconscious patterns and unresolved conflicts which can lead to dependency. With the help of past experiences, one will be able to adjust his/her behaviors.
3. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT):
In cases of emotional instability or interpersonal conflict, DBT also provides the support that can help a person regulate his or her emotions, open up communication and build self-esteem.
4. Assertiveness Training:
It is a crucial component of treatment to learn to say the word no, say what one needs, and defend herself or himself. Assertiveness training makes one less passive and strengthens one emotionally.
5. Group Therapy:
Group therapy will provide such a person with dependent personality disorder with an effective setting to learn alongside others, exercise his or her interpersonal competencies as well as develop confidence. Group experiences are also effective in eliminating isolation that is associated with this disorder.
6. Family Therapy:
Dependency is frequently influenced by internal family dynamics, and it is maintained in them. Family therapy has the potential to bring education on the condition and APD (dependent personality disorder), healing relationships and assist the individual in healthy boundaries, which in turn support the individual.
7. Medication (If Needed):
Although there is no particular drug against DPD, victims could use medicines to ease stress symptoms of DPD or depression when they occur together with the syndrome. Our psychiatrists can assess and give the correct prescriptions where needed.
8. Life Skills and Self-Esteem Building:
The creation of independence does not presume a simple solution of emotional symptoms. Vocational support, self-care practices, goal planning, practical life skills training and self-efficacy reinforce autonomy by reinforcing the principles of self-efficacy and self-actions.
