Dr. Lee said she had diagnosed drug and alcohol dependency, narcissistic personality disorder with borderline and antisocial features, and a mild form of bipolar disorder.

The Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ) measures 3 depressive personality styles: dependency, self-criticism, & efficacy (goal-oriented strivings).
The instrument is comprised of 12 personality dimensions, namely: Dependency, Aggressiveness, Mood Instability, Eccentricity, Attention Seeking, Mistrust, Grandiosity, Isolation, Avoidance of Criticism, Self-Sacrifice, Conscientiousness, and Impulsiveness.

"And narcissism is just one thing, there are other things: enmeshment, co-dependency, emotional incest syndrome, borderline personality disorder, avoidant personality disorder.
