What Causes Personalty Disorder?
My mother s personality disorders are worsening. She has never been diagnosed with anything but is an extreme narcisist. She creates crisis after crisis for attention. My father enables and coddles her. They are now in their early 70 s. It has gotten so bad, no one wants to be around her and she is completely unreasonable. Jill

Hi,
Thanks for writing
A professional help from a psychiatrist would be advisable in this case. Personality disorders are hard to treat, more so at this age. But some improvement is definitely expected.
Hope that helps,
Dr A Rao
