Dependent Persnality Disrder（DPD） is a mental health cnditin that can cause a persn t be verly dependent n ther peple fr their physical and emtinal needs. Peple with dependent persnality disrder ften have truble making decisins fr themselves and feel helpless when they’re alne because they feel incapable f taking care f themselves. They tend t have a strng need fr smene else t take care f them instead.
The exact causes f dependent persnality disrder remain unknwn, but several factrs can cntribute t its develpment. Abusive relatinships may increase the risk, as individuals with this cnditin are mre likely t be in unhealthy relatinships invlving physical abuse, accrding t a 2017 study. Childhd experiences, such as life-threatening illnesses, neglect, physical, r emtinal abuse, als play a significant rle. Genetic factrs are anther cntributr, as having a family member with dependent persnality disrder r anther anxiety disrder can increase sensitivity. Character assciated with the disrder, such as agreeability and lw risk tlerance, is ften genetic, ntes Dr. Daramus. Additinally, certain cultural, scial, r religius practices that emphasize reliance n authrity may cntribute t the cnditin, thugh pliteness r passivity alne is nt indicative f the disrder.
Treating dependent persnality disrder invlves several appraches utlined by Dr. Daramus.

Grup therapy is anther beneficial ptin, as it allws individuals t recgnize and address behaviral patterns in a grup setting while gaining insights and supprt frm shared experiences and discussins. Additinally, if cnditins like depressin r anxiety are present, healthcare prviders may prescribe antidepressant r anti-anxiety medicine t help manage these symptms.

As peple age, it’s cmmn t see a decline in their scial interactins. Spending time alne ften feels mre cmfrtable, and they may feel cntent with their current friends and family, with little need t frm new cnnectins. Hwever, this tendency t reduce scial activity isn’t unique t humans. It has been bserved that as they age, many animals exhibit a similar tendency.
Jsh Firth, a researcher at the University f Leeds, explains that yunger animals rely heavily n scial interactins t share and acquire essential survival infrmatin, such as techniques fr escaping predatrs （捕食性动物） r finding fd. Hwever, lder animals, having accumulated this knwledge ver time, may nt require as much scializatin t thrive （茁壮成长）.
Firth served as an editr n a series f 16 studies and articles n aging, published in Philsphical Transactins f the Ryal Sciety B. Amng humans, fewer scial cnnectins in later life are ften seen as a negative develpment. Reduced scial circles can lead t feelings f lneliness, which in turn may result in depressin and ther health prblems. Yet, the studies suggest that fr animals, smaller scial netwrks in later life may ffer distinct advantages.
Fr instance, ne study fund that lder rhesus macaques, a type f mnkey, were less likely t catch diseases when they maintained smaller scial circles. This is particularly significant because aging animals ften experience a decline in their immune systems, making them weaker t illnesses. Similarly, a study n red deer revealed that lder individuals wh scialized less were at a reduced risk f parasitic （寄生的） wrm infectins.
These findings highlight a ptential upside t reduced scial interactin in later life. “While humans ften view smaller scial netwrks as a cncern, animals demnstrate that having fewer cnnectins can prvide health benefits. It may even be a natural way f cping with the challenges f aging, suggesting there’s wisdm in simplicity as life prgresses,” Firth said.
12. Hw d animals handle scial interactins?
A. They becme mre scial with age.
B. They try t make new cnnectins as they age.
C. They stay equally scial thrughut their lives.
D. They tend t withdraw frm scial activity as they age.
13. What’s a benefit f reduced scial interactin fr lder animals?
A. They develp strnger immune systems.
B. They are mre likely t share survival infrmatin.
C. They are less affected by diseases and infectins.
D. They becme mre scial and frm new cnnectins.
14. Hw is the decline in scial cnnectins viewed amng humans?
A. As a sign f imprving health.
B. As a psitive adaptatin t aging.
C. As a way t build strnger relatinships.
D. As a pr prgressin that prmtes islatin.
15. What des Firth imply in the last paragraph?
A. Scial netwrks aren’t imprtant fr animals.
B. Simplicity in life can be beneficial fr health.
C. Humans shuld avid scial interactins as they age.
D. The challenges f aging cannt be cped with naturally.
