Here are some Wiki articles to look through. It seems that if you look for megelomania, you also look for narcissism.
If someone was abused in their lifetime, they dont want to fall vulnerable again so they feel they need to control their own life, and cant trust anyone else to do that for them.

Yes, victims of abuse does create mental disorders.
obcessive/compulsive disorder
that sounds very ocd, hun.

ocd is not just constantly cleaning, but it is any compulsion to control.
hence;obsesive compulsive disorder.
