Take a look at the Narcissist/Sociopath Forum, here at curezone.com. My ex used to use the same ploys, but he didn't seek medical/psychological attention - he saved that little sideshow for me! That way, he could insist that it was I who was nuts, as I was prescribed medication for my "depression!" LMAO!!! Once I got away from that rotten catfish, I never had to take another antidepressant, again, even when I lost both of my parents.
