Yes, absolutely, definitely. It's called Borderline Personality Disorder. Dramaqueens/addicts. I have noticed since working in psychiatric medicine with certain people in my life and I treat it the way we are trained to treat BPDs, I do not feed the drama. If someone with a personality disorder identifies (and they quickly do) that you will not give the 'drama' airtime or a platform they quickly move on to others that do. It is draining of your energy if you do. It is behavioural and can be changed and can be altered but they chose not to from what I have seen.
They usually have some form of addiction also, such as of course substance abuse but can also be abusive relationships or just addicted to the drama.
