Not to be confused with grandiose delusions.
Grandiosity is chiefly associated with narcissistic personality disorder, but also commonly features in manic or hypomanic episodes of bipolar disorder.[1]
It refers to an unrealistic sense of superiority, a sustained view of oneself as better than others that causes the narcissist to view other with disdain or as inferior. It also refers to a sense of uniqueness, the belief that few others have in common with oneself and that one can only be understood by a few or very special people.[2]
Grandiosity is distinct from grandiose delusions, in that the sufferer has insight into his loss of touch with reality (he is aware that his behavior is considered unusual).[citation needed]
