YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMain Chapters:
Having ADHD in childhood increases the likelihood of developing Narcissistic Personality Disorder as an adult. Biological, psychological, and social forces all appear to be in play with this connection. Positive Illusory Bias, prevalent in many with childhood ADHD, appears to be a precursor for narcissism in adulthood. But there are also many instances when someone with "pure ADHD" has their behavior interpreted as narcissistic.
I'll examine ways to try to distinguish between the two conditions, as well as examining the current over diagnosing of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. "Narcissist" and "Malignant Narcissist" are trending on-line and in the real world, with people increasingly blaming problems on narcissistic parents or leaders. While this is undoubtedly true in some circumstances, the diagnosis of narcissism often seems misapplied and inaccurate.
