Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a mental health condition in which an individual displays an excessive sense of self-importance and a need for admiration from others. Individuals with NPD often engage in self-centered behaviors, including being demanding and exhibiting entitlement, while they may also be exploitative of others and lack empathy. Symptoms may include an exaggerated sense of superiority, fantasies of success, power, beauty, or intelligence, an excessive need for admiration, an inability to take criticism, difficulty maintaining relationships, and becoming easily jealous. NPD can be treated with psychotherapy and medications if necessary. It is important for individuals with NPD to seek treatment, as untreated NPD can negatively affect both the individual and their relationships with others.
