This really bums me out

MANIFESTO

My sister, who's in health care, apprised me of this over the weekend, and by God, it's unfortunately true:

Narcissistic personality disorder, characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance and the need for constant attention, has been eliminated from the upcoming manual of mental disorders ...

I've known too many people—most of them in educational administration—who suffered from some type of psychological abnormality, and NPD seemed to fit them to a tee.

I don't know how I'll be able to describe such awful behaviors when I no longer have the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to back me up.
