Dependent Personality Disorder can make it difficult for you to make decisions and be alone, no matter how much you try. You may fear being abandoned or rejected by others and can often feel anxious or fearful. You want to have more confidence in yourself, but you just can’t seem to.
If you have Dependent Personality Disorder, you may not be able to handle life’s everyday demands. You may also stay in bad relationships, even those that are abusive, because you don’t trust your own decisions and need someone to help you navigate life.
At Clearview Women’s Center, we can help you find ways to become more self-sufficient and boost your levels of confidence. Clearview’s residential and day treatment centers can help you end your dependency on others and begin to believe in yourself.

Our holistic approach to dependent personality treatment includes yoga, exercise, and healthy diet and nutrition to treat the body as well as the mind.

Dependent Personality Disorder is often associated with depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and Panic Disorder. Our experienced team can treat these co-occurring disorders at the same time for a more comprehensive recovery.
