Yup those are both mental health conditions and treatment is available. You can live a good, normal life with the right management techniques and work
Sadly narcissistic and sociopathic issues don’t always get treated as people see them as character flaws instead of illnesses. Also hard for those affected to get help.
The fact that the process of becoming president sends like it is purposely designed to weed out non-narcissists is sad. We luck out every now and again, but it attracts some of the worst, as we have seen.
yeah “this person is unlikely to voluntarily get treated, better confine my actions to the protection of myself and others” is not a big ol’ ableism despite what people might sad eyes pressure you into thinking, zero guilt
Yes, but good luck getting someone with either of those issues, let alone BOTH, to receive therapy or even take it seriously if they do. Last time I suggested it to my mother, she told me I was dead to her and we haven’t spoken since. This was in roughly 2016 or so and my life has only improved since

Or worse, people see these traits as good reasons to be President of the United States.

I think the surprise is more around someone with those conditions agreeing to go to therapy, not that therapy is available.
This.

Narcissists trying to play the ableism card piss me off to no end.

It’s their recovery rate for me, it’s abysmal
