Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a mental health condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance and a deep need for admiration. Individuals with NPD may have a grandiose view of their achievements and often lack empathy for others. They can be sensitive to criticism and may react with anger or disdain. Relationships may suffer due to their self-centered behavior. While they may appear confident, their self-esteem can be fragile. Treatment often involves therapy to help them understand their behavior, improve empathy, and build healthier relationships.
