That isn't true. I like to read articles about a variety of mental illnesses and personality disorders because I am interested- not for the sensational part of things but to understand because you are right, people forget that people with these disorders are human beings with feelings. Another thing that bothers me is how people are so quick to use the label "narcissist". It seems like people who have toxic relationships, especially with a parent want to attribute it to something that they may not understand- beyond reading a checklist on webmd.

Many things can be misunderstood as NPD, and those 2 minute read educated people might go do some really bad choices in their lives because they decided on an article that someone with totally different issues have NPD.

Don't tell me just not to read the articles. They represent what PC is.
By PC do you mean Psyche central or politically incorrect? I read about all sorts of medications; how they work, what areas of the brain they targer, side effects. I find it very interesting, and because of that I end up reading a lot about the disorders they treat. I do not read the fluff articles in stupid magazines. I read peer-reviewed article and studies.
