Disorder when you do anything for attention?

What is that disorder called when you will bascily do anything for attention? And what are the symptoms of it?

Answer #1

hmm the closest I could find were personality disorders… (DSM criteria to follow)

Histrionic Personality Disorder Is uncomfortable in situations in which he or she is not the center of attention Interaction with others is often characterized by inappropriate sexually seductive or provocative behavior Displays rapidly shifting and shallow expression of emotions Consistently uses physical appearance to draw attention to self Has a style of speech that is excessively impressionistic and lacking in detail Shows self-dramatization, theatricality, and exaggerated expression of emotion Is suggestible, I.e., easily influenced by others or circumstances Considers relationships to be more intimate than they actually are.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder has a grandiose sense of self-importance is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love believes that he or she is “special” and unique requires excessive admiration has a sense of entitlement is interpersonally exploitative lacks empathy is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

Answer #2

oh some symptoms are… Impulsiveness: a person who acts quickly without thinking things through. Hyperactivity: very active Inattention: a person who daydreams or seems to be in another world. obnoxiousness… stuck up they tend to think of themselves they cant focus without being redirected stuff like that hope I helped!<3

Answer #3

uhm no to all of the above… people with ADD or ADHD are not attention seekers

I’ll look into it and get back to you

wlite - I guess what you’re talking about is Munchausen Syndrome where a person fakes illness or hurts themselves (makes it look like they are sick) and does it to get attention or Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy where they make their kid or other dependent sick in order to get attention… those are attention seeking disorders… hypochondria is when (to put it simplistically) someone constantly thinks they have some serious illness, they are not doing it for attention…

oh here’s something http://www.bullyonline.org/workbully/attent.htm
