That would be more of a question for a trained therapist or doctor with that as their field of speciality. In general, our culture has witnessed a vast upswing of assigning medical, psychiatric and psychological terms to what used to just be regarded as habits, inclinations or eccentricities.

So unless there is a specific medical opinion to the contrary, it is best to just assume the person is self-absorbed.

At what stage do you really understand that you have gone mad because of your narcissist abuser?

I am not sure what you mean by "gone mad". Only a qualified mental health diagnostician can determine whether someone suffers from a mental health disorder and this, following lengthy tests and personal interviews. But abuse does have traumatic and adverse effects collectively known as PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
