How does a narcissist get diagnosed with narcissist personality disorder?
AnswerOnly a licensed psychiatrist can diagnose an individual with Narcissist Personality Disorder, or NPD. Individuals with NPD rarely seek psychiatric help (that's part of the disorder: "I'm OK and you're crazy, why should I seek help?") so usually it's a spouse or family member that exposes the behavior. Individuals suspected of having NPD must have a certain number of traits or characteristics common to the disorder. Recognizing these traits is what a psychiatrist is trained to do. An individual can have multiple symptoms of NPD and still not get a diagnosis of NPD.
What is the difference between narcissistic personality disorder and schizophrenia?
The two disorders are very different. Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder which usually involves hallucinations such as hearing voices, bizarre behavior, paranoia and disorganized thoughts and behaviors. Medication is necessary to treat this disorder, as it is a medical condition. Therapy does not generally help other than to help the patient cope with stress and comply with medications. Narcissistic personality disorder is a different type of disorder. It is not medical, as it deals more with the organization of a person's personality. It does not include symptoms such as hallucinations, disorganization, etc. There is no medical treatment for this disorder, treatment includes intensive therapy for many years. A patient with Narcissistic PD shows traits such as lack of empathy for others, feelings of superiority and a pathological need to be associated with wealth, success and fame.

Why is there a small amount of information about female NPD when there is such a big difference between male and female NPD?
There is absolutely no difference in a male versus female narcissist. Both will lie on a dime with absolute conviction and absolutely no conscience. Both will view you as a tool that simply does not know the difference. They will use you until they have no more use for you. They will use your child/children until they have no more use for them. Their emotions are facades. They cry crocodile tears unless they are sorry for themselves. They are the persona of themselves within a mirror reflected into a mirror.
