Spanish word for "needy"

Spanish word for "needy"
 
Is the Spanish equivalent for the English word "needy", "necesitado"?

As in, "she's too needy to have a healthy relationship."

Thanks in advance!

Yes, necesitada (because she's a female).

Thanks a lot Rusty!

I agree with Rusty, but I would like to add a note: for the emotional meaning you must say "estar necesitado(a)".
"Ser necesitado" is only used for impoverished people. :)

Thanks for the addition, Angelica! I was wondering about that already :-)
