ADHD and Narcissism

October 23rd, 2009 · 10 Comments · 01 My Thoughts, Myths about ADD ADHD

 

People with ADHD have enough problems without being compared to evil tyrants.

There are few things which upset me more than when someone with ADHD is called narcissistic. I compare the term closer to a curse word more than anything else when used to describe someone with ADHD.

Several rulers of the past who sought world domination are often described as the embodiment of narcissism. I agree with that, I go a step further and hazard to believe that they may have had narcissistic personality disorder, among other issues. We also tend to think of such rulers as evil, and why not, they utterly destroyed lives and ways of living. They deserved such terms; they earned them in various horrible, deceitful ways.
