Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a mental health condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. Individuals with NPD often have an inflated sense of self-importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. They may have a sense of entitlement, interpersonally exploit others, and lack empathy and remorse. NPD is not a normal personality trait but a clinical condition that can significantly impact an individual's relationships and functioning. It is important to note that NPD is not the same as being confident or self-assured, as those with NPD lack genuine empathy and remorse. Diagnosis and treatment of NPD typically involve a mental health professional, who may use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) criteria to make a diagnosis. Treatment options may include therapy, medication, or a combination of both. Early intervention and support can greatly improve outcomes for individuals with NPD.
