  • Firstly, the word 'normal' only expresses the fact that if a person does not ac liket most people in society then something has to be wrong with them which in some cases is simply not true. Some people enjoy being different, but it doesn't mean they are abnormal.

What are the signs and implications of subthreshold symptoms in mental health disorders?

What is the percentage of mental health patients who become mental health therapists?

Since society still has so many stigmas against "mental illness", most people will never reveal whether they were ever treated for any type of problem. No school or licensing agency has accurate statistics for how many mental health patients later become mental health therapists. However, it is well-known that many people going into "helping professions" often do so because they want to cure themselves-- or believe they can help people better than they were helped. All professions are included, whether doctors, nurses, or therapists. Some say that professionals heal from (because of) their own woundedness.

Are there teenage narcissists?

Yes and no. A teenager may exhibit traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, BUT a teenager's personality is still DEVELOPING. But just as there are teenage psychopaths who murder, there are teenage narcissists. Many teenagers exhibit narcissistic traits, but this can actually be a normal and healthy phase of growing up. After all, if they don't believe that they can be better, they might collapse into a "loser mentality." The difference shows when they start to enter adulthood. Normal teenagers who were narcissists (which are most of them) will get either bored with grandiosity or give up narcissism due to life constraints. Some others will have their narcissism evolve into an ambitious personality, which can still be a good trait. Unfortunately, a number of these teenagers (though relatively very few) will retain pathological narcissism and develop Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
