Symptoms[edit | edit source]

Individuals with this disorder often have difficulty making decisions and may rely heavily on others for guidance. They may also have a strong desire to please others and may go to great lengths to gain approval, even if it means sacrificing their own needs or desires.
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Diagnosis of Haltlose personality disorder is typically made by a psychiatrist or psychologist through a comprehensive evaluation. This may include a thorough interview, a review of the individual's medical and psychiatric history, and possibly psychological testing. The diagnosis is made based on the presence of the characteristic symptoms and the exclusion of other mental health disorders.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for Haltlose personality disorder typically involves psychotherapy, specifically cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT can help individuals with this disorder learn to identify and change unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors. In some cases, medication may also be used to help manage symptoms.
