Introduction

Last week we discussed hyper-independence and how it can be a hindrance to your life. Dependent Personality Disorder is the estimate of this disorder or lower than many other personality disorders that we've talked about previously on this show. A review of six epidemiological studies found a median prevalence of 0.4%. The pervasive nature of DPD is different from the more focused nature of codependency. It's imperative that you get evaluated by a mental health professional if you find this information true for you.
