NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER 2
At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have difficulty handling anything they comprehend as criticism, and they can:
Become irritated and impatient or outraged when they are not accorded special treatment
Have considerable interpersonal problems and easily feel insulted
React with wrath / temper or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make themselves appear superior
Have difficulty controlling emotions and behavior
Experience sizeable problems dealing with stress and adapting to change
Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection
Have secret feelings of insecurity, disgrace, vulnerability and humiliation
WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR
People with narcissistic personality disorder may not want to think that anything could be wrong, so they may be unlikely to seek treatment. If they do seek treatment, it's more likely to be for symptoms of depression, drug or alcohol use, or another mental health problem. But perceived insults to self-esteem may make it difficult to accept and follow through with treatment.
If you recognize aspects of your personality that are common to narcissistic personality disorder or you're feeling overwhelmed by sadness, consider reaching out to a trusted doctor or mental health provider. Getting the right treatment can help make your life more rewarding and enjoyable.
