The biggest danger for sufferers of "dependant personality disorder" is in the social sphere. They rarely have any other friends except the person they are dependent on, and perhaps one other person. The sufferer may also be subject to "occupational dysfunction" as part of their disorder. This means that they are probably going to be more suited to a job where they are not required to have any initiative.
