Is There Any Treatment For Dependent Personality Disorder With Depression?
Hello, My name is Ardhendu, 28 yrs, and I am married to a girl, 24 years, who has signs of Dependent personality disorder. She displays all these symptoms and seems to be chronic- inability to make decisions, dependency on all aspects, shows disagreement on facts relating to herself, can go heights to meet her demands, can be really aggressive or depressed or display self destructive measures and high level of insecurity. How can she recover ?If yes, how long will it take ? Is it difficult to get her recovery? Please help /Ardhendu

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, she needs to have a detailed psychiatrist evaluation. From the details it seems so that your concerns may have any organic or underlying psychiatric cause.
She may need to be put on anxiolytics, like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors etc as well as atypical antipsychotics.
Meanwhile detailed sessions with clinical psychologist as well as group therapies and behaviour modification therapies may be helpful but recovery may take months to help to control the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin
