Check it out. No more Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I don't know how I feel about this. On the one hand, I've been labeled narcissistic before, and I think it was a misdiagnosis; my problems were due to stress, bipolar disorder, and improper medication. A shrink later evaluated me and said it was "really" bipolar all along. So, at least shrinks don't have that label to throw on difficult patients they don't like.
On the other hand...I would like to know *why* its being eliminated.
