Causes of Histrionic Personality Disorder

Several factors can lead to histrionic personality disorder or other personality disorder.

Children growing up with parents who lack limits and are overly indulgent, or unstable may develop a histrionic personality disorder. Furthermore, parents who engage in dramatic, chaotic, explosive, or inappropriate sexual conduct put their children at risk of having the disorder.

Childhood Trauma:

Children may cope with trauma, such as child abuse or the death of a family member, which may become disruptive or difficult in their adult lives and contribute to the development of a histrionic personality disorder.
