Chronic anxiety, pathological narcissism, depression, obsessive-compulsive characteristics, and alcoholism and drug misuse are all well-known and widely used in psychiatric treatment. However, not all narcissists, compulsives, depressives, and nervous persons use alcohol or drugs.
The idea that a gene complex responsible for alcoholism has been discovered has been repeatedly debunked. Berman and Noble proposed in 1993 that addicted and risky behaviors are merely emerging phenomena that may be related to other, more fundamental tendencies like novelty seeking or taking risks. Psychopaths (those with Antisocial Personality Disorder) exhibit a lot of both of these characteristics. As a result, we would expect them to be heavy drinkers and drug users. They do, as Lewis and Bucholz established conclusively in 1991. Even so, psychopaths make up a small percentage of drinkers and drug addicts.
The majority of addicts have narcissistic personalities, according to research. His addictions assist him in achieving his goals. They elevate him beyond the mundane's laws and pressures, away from reality's humbling and somber demands. They make him the center of attention while also isolating him from the obnoxious and inferior crowd in "splendid solitude."
Compulsory and dangerous activities offer a psychological exoskeleton. They're a way of getting away from everyday life. They provide the narcissist with a schedule, goals, and pretended accomplishments. The adrenaline junkie narcissist believes he is in command, attentive, eager, and vital. He does not consider himself to be reliant on anyone. The narcissist is convinced that he is in complete control of his addiction and that he can quit at any time.
