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.
