The conversation extends to the blurry boundaries between narcissism and antisocial personality disorder, shedding light on the utility and constraints of the DSM-5.Listeners are invited into a lively debate on the shortcomings of DSM diagnoses, questioning their overlap and inadequacy. Furthermore, the discussion underscores the surge in DSM diagnoses, fueling concerns about overmedication.
