Depending Too Much On Others, Able To Take Personal Decisions. Dependent Personality Disorder?

An adult feels unable to survive on her own and depends too much on other adults for protection and help for practical things (still hasn't fully grown up although way past adolescence) . But she has confidence in her own intelligence and has no trouble forming opinions on issues and values, nor making personal decisions, nor disagreeing with others' views. Can she sti;ll have Dependent Personality Disorder?.

Hi, you know she is confident about her intelegence, can form openions on issues, and values, can make personal desicions, can disagree with others views. Means she is doing all these things by her own, and you have observed.
It seems she is quite normal, and might be going for advise for self confidence, some times.
On line i may not be in a position to judge, if so it might be a obsesive compulsive neurosis. She want to hear her openion from some one who is besides. In this case if you observe the same position several times, you can consult a psychologist for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
