Do histrionic personality disorder suffer from erotomania delusional love for therapist?
It depends on the person. Being histrionic (overly and dramatically emotional) doesn't automatically make you in love with anyone, let alone your therapist. I suppose that being histrionic could make it more likely, because you tend to make everything more dramatic and see friendship as romantic... always taking things a little bit too far. But it isn't something that always happens, and definitely depends on the person.
