That is so untrue that the risk of self harm is "minute" in NPD. ALL the literature suggests that axis II disorders, have a MUCH higher risk for suicide. You do a diservice to your readers to state otherwise. Additionally, not all bipolars experience psychotic mania that is a "marked transformation" Many patients are hypomanic and the depressive side of the illness can be much more "marked" than the manic or hypomanic phase. Many many psychiatric illnesses experience insomnia acute and otherwise and this can be a significant facter since impulsivity and anxiety are very common in NPD and other disorders. Perhaps you should qualify your statements with the fact that these are your own unsubstanciated opinions.

yes, there truly is a marked transfomation is bipolars during psychotic mania. if you have observed it closely like I, the wife of a bipolar sufferer have, you would know the truth of it!
It is frightening to see someone you love turn into a complete stranger.
