The misuse and misunderstanding of terms like 'narcissist' and 'manipulative' are rampant in today's society. In this episode, we debunk a common myth: not everyone who shows certain traits is a narcissist. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a specific mental health diagnosis with defined criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of Mental Disorders. Just because someone demonstrates one or two of these traits occasionally does not mean they have NPD. This mislabeling not only adds to the confusion and stigmatization of mental health issues but can also be quite damaging to those who are inaccurately labeled. We want to spread awareness around this issue and to promote empathy and understanding, to humanize rather than demonize, and to break down the stigma around mental health.

Here’s the list of episodes related to today’s discussion, and we highly recommend listening to them as well:
