general dx question?

[Cammy]

Sounds like there's a bit of narcissistic personality disorder in the mix. For everyone's sake, I hope not since it cannot be fixed.

Just an addendum: I've had a lot of experience with NPD's, unfortunately. One salient feature that they all share is that they are always right and everyone else is wrong. They will defend their innocence like crazy, which is what the person you described does and why it caught my attention. Unfortunately, as you know, with so many of the personality disorders, they often coexist with other disorders or mental health issues, so trying to feather out a diagnosis from a brief description is terribly difficult. It does sound like it may be time for this person to go in for some professional testing - the sooner an individual finds out what their diagnosis is, the better chance they have of becoming more functional. Try to tell them that though - not so easy.
