i was wondering are schizo narcissist?

Accepted Answer

Some are and some no: The answer to this question is remarkably complex. To a large extent degree it would depend upon the premorbid personality of the person with schizophrenia. If they were narcissistic before hand they could be narcissistic afterwords. However, once hallucinations and delusions have set in, it is anybody's guess as to whether the hallucinations or delusions will cause them to become more narcissisticor perhaps even less narcissistic.
