No, if I have elements of narcisissism it doesn't mean I have them all. You went too quickly to look for a way to knock my post down. Sorry, but you did. I love my wife, and I know what she's going through. I feel it in my own flesh, and my suspicions about the lack of proper diagnosis that caused her to go through unnecessary ECTs were confirmed by the latest psychiatrist, who immediately diagnosed her akathisia, dyskinesia, etc., all caused by antipsychotics, and by Prozac.
I was looking for support, not for a condemnation. If I have narcissistic elements, it doesn't mean that I lack empathy, and it doesn't mean that is my diagnosis. And if I have some symptoms of it, no psychologist has accepted responsibility for putting me in that "box" or that "label." I just know enough about it to know that I need attention, but when it comes to my wife I know what the quacks did, and what shape they have her in.
The constant meds, changes, and side effects they cause has me worried. Since I don't take any, I worry for what they're doing for my wife, and the obvious symptoms were finally detected by a psychiatrist that seems to know his business.
Anyway...thanks for answering, but your decision to jump at me smells so like the previous two psychiatrists that screwed up my wife no end, when they refused to listen, or open their eyes for the obvious symptoms she was experiencing.
