Narcissism
Comprehensive treatment program for Narcissism to help you reclaim your life.
A dual diagnosis, or co-occurring disorder, is a mental health disorder that accompanies a substance use disorder.
Narcissism and addiction often co-occur, meaning that a person can suffer from both a personality disorder (narcissism) and a substance use disorder (addiction) at the same time.
People with narcissism may self-medicate with drugs or alcohol to try to manage their symptoms, which can lead to addiction.
People with co-occurring narcissism and addiction are more likely to experience more severe symptoms and have a higher risk of relapse, suicide, and other negative outcomes.
In the US, over 9 million adults have a co-occurring disorder and half of those with a serious mental disorder have co-occurring substance use disorder.
You or someone you know may have NPD if you notice a few key signs. Per the DSM-5, you must have 5 of these symptoms to receive a diagnosis of NPD.

- Preoccupied with fantasies of success, power, beauty, love, or brilliance: They may chase after an unrealistic fantasy or obsess over it, even when it's unrealistic.
- Need constant admiration: They require excessive admiration, even when it's not deserved.
- Have a sense of superiority: They believe they are highly special and should only associate with people and places who can understand just how special they are.
