Please understand this, Narcissists are severely emotionally stunted, underdeveloped adults. Regardless of how high mentally functioning they appear to be, they have the emotional intelligence of an angry, irrational young child.

It is estimated that 10 percent to 13 percent of the world’s population suffer from some form of personality disorder. Most personality disorders begin in the teen years, when the personality further develops and matures. As a result, almost all people diagnosed with personality disorders are above the age of 18. According to the most recent study, obsessive-compulsive disorder is the most frequent disorder, followed by narcissistic and borderline personality. Possible causes include genetics and environmental influences, such as early childhood abuse, violence, inadequate parenting and neglect. Psychotherapy is considered the main way to treat such disorders. If a loved one is not willing to seek treatment, setting boundaries is recommended; make clear the kinds of behaviour that will not be tolerated and remove yourself from the situation when needed. Joining a support group and education about the disorder can be very helpful. If a loved one continues to cross boundaries, we are advised to consider keeping a safe distance.
