Treatment:
People with HPD don’t think they need treatment, making it difficult. The most common method is psychotherapy. This treatment helps patients uncover their motivations and fears behind their actions, and helps them relate to others in a more positive way. The alternative method of meditation is also used to treat depression and anxiety that may come with HPD.
