Oh quick snippet. Asked the doctor to go over the DSM-V manual for psychiatric illnesses and asked him how to tell if someone does have full blown NPD. He went over 9 things and if the patient in question has at least 5 the dx can be made. She had at least 7. It blew my mind she has more than traits, she is full blown NPD.
Then he went on to say that Narcissists are never good canidates for therapy because they do not believe they are the issue, its everyone else... wow. I been fighting an impossible battle for years. What a waste.
A grandiose logic of self-importance A fixation with fantasies of infinite success, control, brilliance, beauty, or idyllic love A credence that he or she is extraordinary and exceptional and can only be understood by, or should connect with, other extraordinary or important people or institutions A desire for unwarranted admiration A sense of entitlement Interpersonally oppressive behavior No form of empathy Resentment of others or a conviction that others are resentful of him or her A display of egotistical and conceited behaviors or attitudes
