Hi Rochelle,
What's your sense of why she is so dramatic--does it definitely go
beyond the common-enough "want to be an actress" thing that I think is
not so uncommon among ten-year-old girls these days? (Sorry, I
had to ask...) The suggestions made all sound good--if it's really
that extreme a thing; but if not, maybe even consider things like (well
phos, but you already did that) sulphur??? or sepia (I'm thinking of
that "Scarlett O'Hara" early stage that Will Taylor mentioned
Vithoulkas mentioning, where they just crave stimulation, and crave
attention to try to liven up that "dead zone" inside?? The remark was
made that a sepia child can look surprisingly similar to a phos
child...??)
Shannon

What about the Labiatae family? I even knew a Stramonium who was a drama queen. It depends what's driving the need and how it manifests.
Peace,
Dale

Dear Shannon and others,
Thanks for you comments and requests for more information. I will deal with this in due course but at the moment I have a more pressing matter of a 10 yr old with psoriasis which I may have made a lot worse with my last prescription. I will be typing up the consultation tonight -as soon as I have fed my stomach!- and will be sending to the list for comments and suggestions!!

Plat and Palladium are more if in the "drama queen" the queen part is
dominant- where there is an overt affectation with barely concealed
haughtiness
Stram also has this -

But the remedy should be selected based on other symptoms as well -
this "dramatic personality" would be covered by many remedies and
rubrics - including being affectionate exaggeratedly, hysterical,
nervous, excitable etc rubrics.

In Kent even Gestures, makes is related to this-

In fact the first I would think about is Pulsatilla - with its fast
changing emotions- craving attention etc.

A good rubric to reveal at least a good cross-section of the true drama
queens is MIND or SLEEP Feigning; MIND Hysteria, and (MIND Excitement
Desires). Plat mentioned by others is however not in these - plat doesnt
need specific feigning, as in the extreme case the whole presentation is
an affected act. Plat is not just the haughty movie star type, spinster or
schoolmarm but is also is the wife that worries her husband will never
come home. Staph could also do some histrionics, though it will be muted
and suppressed and come out only at times, only to be bottled up again.

All here are Synthesis and RU combined or unique in each:

SLEEP - FEIGNED
Sep.

MIND - FEIGNING - sick; to be
aethyl-act. aethyl. arg-n. bell. calc. ign. kali-c. lac-c. lach. lyc.

MIND - FEIGNING - sick; to be - shrieking; with
ign. verat.

MIND - FEIGNING - sick; to be - children; in
aethyl-act. arg-n. bell. ign. lac-c. lach. lyc. Mosch. op. plb. Puls.
sabad. sep. sil. syph. tarent. VERAT.

MIND - FEIGNING - paroxysms, faintness
TARENT.

MIND - PHENOMENA - FEIGNING - pregnancy
croc. verat.
Hysteria is another rubric and Plat is there bold:

All in the above showing up in the consult room could be "drama queens" --
people who get excited, or need to drum up hullabaloo or attention - often
the M.O. of an animal rx, but certainly animal rx are not the only ones
desiring attention or needing a diversion from what they cannot themselves
face - and making a scene in order to be attended to by others.

The "Drama Queen" phenomena in the *ultimate* degree is probably attained
in Moschus which has a dd in Radar keynotes of
Asaf, Croc, Ign, Lil-t, Lob, Pall, Plat, Plb, Sumbul, Valer.

Moschus will cut themselves up, mutilate themselves by gratuitous surgery
or otherwise, among other things.

Just a quick one- by Drama queen - I really did mean a child who was into
acting and drama, speaks dramatically and with an excellent vocab for a 10
yr old not someone who is hysterical and puts on a show for attention!!!

Hm, this description sounds (to me) like it could be just a bright and
energetic child who enjoys (tho not necessarily craves) the spotlight;
is that the situation, or does it appear to be a "pathological" need
for attention or something like that? What do you think? Is the
"drama" something she simply enjoys and is good at (in a basically
well-balanced kid), or is it running her?
Shannon

I think you've got the idea Shannon. I was just so impressed by this well spoken child with such in some ways an adult way of speaking!! Very confident and eloquent.
