Hi,
i think my sister has got Avoidant Personality Disorder,
she hasnt gone outside of the house for about 3 years now,the last time she went out was when my granmother died,though she hadnt gone out for years before that.
All she does is stay in the house all the time,watching television and she never sees anybody outside of the family.
she dosnt to try to get any help like seeing the doctor she just rellies on other people to get her shopping and cigarettes and things.
Does this sound like Avoidant Personality Disorder?
What is the best way to help somebody like this?
It effects the other members of the family,and it is upseting to see someone wasting their life.
I know this is upseting for my mother,because she dosnt know how to help my sister,
I would be gratefull for any help or suggestions of how i could help my sister,
thanks
