Dependent Personality Disorder?  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Does anyone have this or is involved with someone with this?

I was reading up on this because someone had suggested my husband may have it. I am going to bring this up to his psychiatrist next week at his appt. But he has always been very needy physically, emotionally and mentally. I find myself soemtimes doing more for my husband than I do for my kids. He is also bipolar (rapid cycler) and requires a lot of my time just for the issues that can create, but people are amazed at all I do for him on a daily basis that I've just assumed was the duty of a wife but it seems I am going above and beyond, doing the things he requests...

If someone has experience with this, what is treatment like? therapy to help "retrain" them to become independent?

Sorry, I don't know anything about it. I'm sure his psychiatrist will have some valuable feedback.

All I can say is keep googling and we're here for ya.

Good luck!!!
