Narcissism and Substance Abuse: Understanding the Complexities of Dual Diagnosis | s1e14

The Inquisitive Wren Podcast

'Narcissists have cynical and unsympathetic views of others and seem insensitive to others' concerns and situational constraints', (Mischel, Shoda, Smith).
This video is about both narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) coupled with a substance abuse problem. This is an explosive combination. It is important to know that narcissism is a personality trait, not a diagnosis. However, NPD is a diagnosis recognised as a mental health illness.
I discuss both here and the threshold will be quite clear from when a person is a narcissist and when they have NPD with substance abuse.
