Certain medical conditions can activate the narcissistic defense mechanism. Chronic ailments are likely to lead to the emergence of narcissistic traits or a narcissistic personality style. Traumas (such as brain injuries) have been known to induce states of mind akin to full-blown personality disorders. Such “narcissism”, though, is reversible and tends to be ameliorated or disappear altogether when the underlying medical problem does. Other disorders, like the Bipolar Disorder (mania-depression) are characterised by mood swings that are not brought about by external events (endogenous, not exogenous). But the narcissist’s mood swings are strictly the results of external events (as he perceives and interprets them, of course).

http://www.mybestresources.net/ People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. Histrionics also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative. “People with this disorder are usually able to function at a high level and can be successful socially and professionally. People with histrionic personality disorder usually have good social skills, but they tend to use these skills to manipulate other people and become the center of attention. Furthermore, histrionic personality disorder may affect a person’s social or romantic relationships or their ability to cope with losses or failures. People with this disorder lack genuine empathy. They start relationships well but tend to falter when depth and durability are needed, alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation. They may seek treatment for depression when romantic relationships end, although this is by no means a feature exclusive to this disorder. They often fail to see their own personal situation realistically, instead tending to dramatize and exaggerate their difficulties. They may go through frequent job changes, as they become easily bored and have trouble dealing with frustration. Because they tend to crave novelty and excitement, they may place themselves in risky situations. All of these factors may lead to greater risk of developing depression. There also tends to be a heavy correlation with this disorder and bisexuality. What are the causes of histrionism? The cause of this disorder is unknown, but childhood events such as deaths in the immediate family, divorce of parents and genetics may be involved. Histrionic Personality Disorder is more often diagnosed in women than men; men with some quite similar symptoms are often diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder. Little research has been conducted to determine the biological sources of this disorder. Psychoanalytic theories incriminate authoritarian or distant attitudes by one or both of the parents of these patients, or love based on expectations from the child that can never be fully met.”(Wikipedia)

Currently I struggle with my past. I attend therapy on a daily basis and take many medications. I struggle from PTSD and BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), all of which is said to have come from my childhood abuse, specially the sexual abuse. Plus other diagnoses such as Social
Anxiety, Disassociation Disorder, Panic Attacks, & the fear & misunderstanding anything related to SEX!!!!!!
For those who suffer the same, you can understand what I am going through. Because of these disorders, most of my life exists around instability and much horrid mental pain. The anguish one goes through is no joke. Everyday we try to remain alive and well. Everyday and every second we are dealing with this illness!
