What kind of person is he?

Post Reply New Topic

my cousin is someone that when he is not the centre of attention or is ignored he becomes difficult in behaviour and turns into a complete pycopath. however when he is at the centre of attention he becomes very charming and nice almost like an angel.


my cousin is 21 years old.... what kind of mental health issue might my cousin have? he was spoiled alot growing up by his parents.

This could be nearly everthing.
The description is too short.

But it sound most like histrionic PD or Borderline PD oder ODD.
Most likly the first one, histrionic PD. This is not possible to say for sure just through internet and with this short description.

In full light of the fact that no one here seems qualified to make a medical/mental health diagnosis, my first opinion is "Spoiled Rotten", and my second (albeit unqualified) opinion is Narcissistic Personality Disorder or NPD.

Who knows? He could just be a jerk.

Don't hate me, but I'm not sure why there's such a rush to label people with some diagnosis. Is that supposed to make it easier for us in the world? Oh, here comes my fried, the manic depressive. Ooh, I saw him kissing this girl with anxiety disorder last week. It was in the back of the McDonald's where the manager with Crohn's disease works. Then I watched them get into a taxi with a driver who I've heard is bulimic. Unbelievable.

I'd second the "this isn't enough information" and also the "but I'd guess histrionic".
