Mental Health Information

Addiction and Personality star
The connection between chronic anxiety, pathological narcissism, depression, obsessive-compulsive traits and alcoholism and drug abuse is well established and common in clinical practice. But not all narcissists, compulsives, depressives, and anxious people turn to the bottle or the needle.

How I Changed, From Starving to Death - to Living Free from Anorexia star
When anorexia begins to take over your life you can think of nothing else. How can you survive it? Is there a way out? Debra Mittler continues her story here on how she began to take back her life, and find a way out of the vicious cycle - of anorexia.

How to Spot an Abuser on Your First Date star
Is there anything you can do to avoid abusers and narcissists to start with? Are there any warning signs, any identifying marks, rules of thumb to shield you from the harrowing and traumatic experience of an abusive relationship? Read more to tell how he/she is a ´would-be´ abuser.

I Need Advice star[offsite link]
A look at how to get started when you think you may need advice or counseling for depressed feelings.

Narcissist vs. Psychopath - Similarities and Differences star
Sam Vaknin clarifies common misconceptions about Narcissistic and Antisocial Personality Disorders

The False Self star
We often marvel at the discrepancy between the private and public lives of our idols: celebrities, statesmen, stars, writers, and other accomplished figures. The narcissist has no private life, no true self, no domain reserved exclusively for his nearest and dearest. His life is simply a spectacle.

The Guilt of the Abused - Pathologizing the Victim star
Mistreatment and violence are part of an enduring pattern of maladaptive behavior. Abusers are possessive, jealous, dependent, and, often, narcissistic. Invariably, both the abuser and his victim try to conceal abusive episodes and the aftermath from family, friends, neighbors, or colleagues.

Victim reaction to Abuse by Narcissists and Psychopaths star
Personality disorders are not only all-pervasive, but also diffuse and shape-shifting. It is taxing and emotionally harrowing to watch how a loved one is consumed by these pernicious and largely incurable conditions.
