From Google News Search: "Narcissistic personality disorder" Do people with narcissistic personality disorder even know they have it? or are they too *perfect* to look? Q.

I mean counselors have diagnosed this, not psychiatrists. He does not believe anyone. Asked by wickeywickey - Thu Jul 17 21:12:45 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. First off, it's hard to be "loosely" diagnosed with a Personality Disorder. They are serious issues. However, speaking generally of Narcissistic Personality Disorder most people with this diagnosis do not believe that there is anything wrong with them. Instead, it is others who have the issues and fail to recognize it. So while they may have heard someone tell them they have the diagnosis, the short answer is no, they don't believe they have it. Answered by Dr. D - Thu Jul 17 21:18:45 2008 When a relationship is all about control is the person a sociopath or have narcissistic personality disorder? Q. I am married to a man that is more my enemy than my husband that is supposed to love me. He has tried to make me feel inferior in the relationship but I realize there are deep issues he has that are all about control. I believe he has a personality disorder, not been diagnosed, but I've lived with him many years to know the pain he's caused. Hoping someone may have a similar experience to find out what is going on with this man. Asked by sweetie - Sat Sep 26 14:19:25 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. For my part, I would say he suffers from insecurities. Most people develop insecurities as a child, usually from a controlling parent, who suffered the same fate. Ask about his childhood... hehe. Now, it's been my personal experience, that people with insecurities, are quick to put others down, in effect making themselves feel better, creating a feeling of dominance over others. It used to be that way with my father. You could only really agree with him. I loved him nonetheless, but we never had that bond. Throughout my childhood, I always felt like he thought I was his mortal enemy. It wasn't much fun back then. You should find that your hubby, won't stand for any criticism.

Q. Would like to know specificially if these individuals are born narcissitic or whether it's a defense of some sort? Asked by Stephanie C - Fri Jun 8 01:33:04 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Narcissistic PD is when individuals put others down in order to feel good about themselves --- so yes, it is a defense. They believe they are defective and in order to preserve their self-worth, they become narcissistic --- so they may blame others around or the world in order to defend themselves from what they actually think about themselves in that something is wrong with them. Also, it's usually because they have been treated as being very special as youngsters which is why they can't harbour the thought that they may not be so perfect after all. Hope this helps... Additionlly, if you want to understand the diagnostic criteria, I'd suggest looking up the DSM-IV-TR in the library. Good luck!
