Psych Evaluation: The diagnostic and statistic manual of mental disorders defines dependent personality disorder as a pervasive and excessive need to be taken care of that leads to submission and clinging behavior and fears of separation. A diagnosis is made after a complete evaluation by a qualified mental health professional. You can find internet questionnaires that may be suggestive of the diagnosis.

Dependent Personalit: You would have excess need to be cared for, become subordinate in relationships, indecisive, can't start or finish projects on your own, and you would hesitate to disagree with others. You would likely have anxiety as well.
