“It is a puzzle why the manual’s committee on personality disorders has decided to throw N.P.D. off the bus.”

Because the members on the committee don’t like uncomfortable truths about themselves...

Doesn't matter. The XXVth Amendment does not rely on the opinion of the DSM.

There has always been pressure to minimize the Personality Disorders. They eliminated Psychopathic Personality and Sociopathic Personality years ago. And of course, they eliminated homosexual behavior, which is a sexualized form of pathological narcissism, long before.

The reasons are mundane: there is no medical treatment for these disorders, and insurance companies generally won't reimburse for their psychotherapeutic treatment. That's the long and short of it, salted by a frisson of political adventurism.

If precedent holds, the committee members will become known as the manual is published.

They will be people you never heard of.

There are no meds for NPD. If obama is being medicated, it is for something else.

Meds are for depression due to extreme cognitive dissonance due to Narcistic Personality Disorder.

Likely one of these:

Lexapro, Xanax, Zoloft, Effexor, Wellbutrin, Prozac, Paxil, Celexa, Remeron or Zyban.

He has to have attention:

Today we learn that narcissism is no longer a mental disorder, stealing and using another person’s social security number is not a crime, and what else?

Democrats and liberals today are so utterly corrupt, if there were to be a Sodom and Gomorrah modern day, they'd comprise it!

To: Seeing More Clearly Now

Mojito is right to link this latest with the elimination of homosexuality as a mental illness. Most here know already that the precedent has already been set, and pedophilia and bestiality will also be soon enough eliminated from the DSM.
Pathology is being normalized, obviously, which means violent crimes will rise, it stands to reason, and children will suffer the very most.
Best advice I can give is this: Stay sane, you are not alone!
