abstract="Increasing evidences suggest that mania frequently co-exists with cluster B personality disorders, particularly with borderline and narcissistic personality disorders. The comorbidity between bipolar disorder and narcissistic personality disorder often complicates the diagnosis of mania and may represent a negative prognostic factor, leading to poor treatment adherence and increased suicide attempts.
