I think I may have issues

I know a few people that are true narcissists coupled with being mild to moderate sociopaths ( they usually go hand in hand ). I’m a retired psychiatric RN and I can usually spot personality disorders within a short time around folks. By the way the hardest personality disorder to be around is Borderline Personality Disorder. They are the most trying and difficult to deal with.

I too can usually recognize a person with personality disorders after spending a little time with them.

Sons a toxic narcissist. With some sort of bipolar/ personality disorder that he chooses to self medicate instead of following a doctors prescribed treatment "They (doctors) are stupid and dont know what they are talking about" according to him. I usually can spot those types a mile away.

He was always narcissistic, but the more drastic issues manifested around his mid 20's

With hippa laws, we were unable to find out his actual diagnosis and prescribed treatment the couple times he was committed on a 72hr psych hold. Wife's a nurse, and was able to make some educated guesses based on the prescriptions he recieved and refused to fill or take upon his release.

I can usually spot someone with a bipolar disorder as well. Stepmother was a self medicating bipolar with a side order of obsessive compulsive disorder. Dad was her enabler.

Having to tread lightly around someone like that for years, you tend to pick up the cues.

Unlike psychiatric diagnoses such as Bi-polar, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Major Depression where meds are used to adjust imbalances of neuro transmitters in the brain. The problem with personality disorders is you can’t treat them with meds. It takes therapy, counseling, behavior modification and interventions to help. I have had many patients put on a hold 72hr hold but when you get them stable and they discharge they stop taking the meds and it becomes a vicious circle.
By the way, many folks don’t realize that when a psychiatrist puts someone on a 72hr hold, weekends and holidays don’t count towards the 72hr hold. If you are put on a hold on Friday, then you don’t leave till Tuesday at the earliest. And virtually nobody can get you released earlier, not even governor, lawyers etc.

A lot of people won't acknowlege that they have a problem and they won't take the first step to treatment.

I'm the product of two people who never should have had children, to include a narcissist, I don't need an online test to tell me I'm screwed in that regard.

I just try to be self-aware.

A lot of people won't acknowlege that they have a problem and they won't take the first step to treatment.

And the odds that a narcissist, sociopath, borderline pd will admit they have a problem is nill at best.

A lot of people won't acknowlege that they have a problem and they won't take the first step to treatment.

Most of them will be in denial and won't understand the entire subject to begin with. BTW...good article with good examples if a person is willing to objectively look at both sides.
