There has definitely been a lot of encouragement to label people narcissists too. Um, it's pretty obvious why that has increased the past couple of years.

That being said, when spending time with a therapist that was very knowledgable about "trauma", he explained to me how unfortunately a lot of people who struggle with ptsd and trauma challenges tend to get misdiagnosed a lot. He explained how many of his patients had been misdiagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, when that was not an accurate diagnosis and instead the patient was suffering from trauma and ptsd. Another very common misdiagnosis when it comes to ptsd is also bipolar. I have actually had a couple of therapists tell me that and explain how there is a difference between someone getting badly triggered and experiencing a hypervigliant state and someone experiencing a manic episode. Also, I have learned that many alcoholics are individuals who began drinking to escape the crippling symptoms they were experiencing that come with ptsd. Just because a person can be sensitive to criticism, doesn't mean that person is a narcissist either.

Yes, it's unfortunate, yet the trend has become that of many deciding that because they learned a bit about some label it makes them suddenly qualified to label others when in most cases they are totally inaccurate.
