In the series finale we discuss Narcissism. The DSM version 5 lists Narcissism as a cluster B personality disorder (PD). A PD is an enduring and inflexible pattern of long duration, leading to significant distress or impairment and is not due to use of substances or another medical condition. On paper this is a cold and clinical view of the disorder but for those living with a 'narc', it has a completely devastating impact on their life both physically and mentally. This episode sees C and J take a very deep dive into the creation of a narcist, their patterns of behaviour, warning signs and finishes the episode with practical guidance and most importantly the 'light at the end of the tunnel' for victims of narcissistic abuse.
