MEGALOMANIA

What is Megalomania ?

Megalomania is an unrealistic belief in one's superiority,

grandiose abilities, and even omnipotence.

 

It is characterized by a need for total power and control over others,

and is marked by a lack of empathy for anything that is perceived

as not feeding the self.
     

Although megalomania is a term often ascribed to anyone who is 
power-hungry, the clinical definition is that of a mental illness 
associated with narcissistic personality disorder.
