Question

Adam believes he is exceptional, should be treated as special, and is entitled to a promotion at work. He spends a considerable amount of time creating the right impression with people. His boss is getting a little tired of Adam's attempts to gain his approval and the approval of his coworkers. Adam saw a clinician several weeks ago and was diagnosed with a personality disorder. Which one is most likely

Answer 1

Answer:

Adam is likely to have a narcissistic personality disorder.

Explanation:

 A person with a narcissistic personality disorder has exaggerated feelings about himself or herself. They are egocentric people that are trying to seek the attention and admiration of colleagues, relatives, and friends. Also, they consider themselves as superiors. People with this personality disorder often have problems at work, with their family and school. The reason is because of their egocentrism, constant seeking for approval, and the negative response that can produce when they do not get the admiration that they "deserve" from others.

They are very insecure people that find it hard to accept critics and need the reassurance of others due to their low self-esteem.
