My first search was for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Nothing found under “narcissistic”, and nothing found for that looking through all the hits for “disorder.”
Why is this one so good?

“Psychiatrists who have worked closely with schizophrenia recognize it as a brain disease”
Like your dislike/arguement that the use of addiction to decribe people who use the internet is invalid. I can argue schizophrenia is not a disease.
It is not communicable (like any other disease) and there is no pathology, no lab test to confirm the psychiatrists belief of schizophrenia in the “patient”.Ten different people diagnosed as having schizophrenia can each have a different set of symptoms. Schizophrenia as such has no adverse effect on physical health. Schizophrenia does not generally progress for more than five years from onset but, rather, improves.
